I think the list fails to see, or perhaps doesn't want to see, the fact that
the reality of network security issues is about to hit the general public,
regardless of how prepared the public is to understand these issues. Every
damn thing is interconnected now, or soon will be, and Joe Blow must be made
aware of his need to secure his connected equipment. The scary part of this
for "the list" may be the fact that our "knowledge monopoly" is about to be
broken by widespread public disclosure of, and therefore interest in,
network security issues.
We're starting to see TV adverts for network security. The security
business is going mainstream. It's gonna happen, trust me. If this means
we small security providers have to change our business models, then we
should change them. Business niches open and close. The big guys are
moving in, and with their marketing muscle they will dictate terms of
business.
See the trend, and adapt or get run over.
