Speaker:
Bruce Schneier, Founder and Chief Technical Officer, Counterpane Internet Security, Inc.
Surveying current
trends in information security, it's clear that a myriad of forces
are at work. But fundamentally, security is all about economics: both
attacker and defender are trying to maximize the return on their
investments. Economics can both explain why security fails so often,
and offer new solutions for security success. For example, often the
people who could protect a system are not the ones who suffer the
costs of failure. Changing those economic incentives will do more to
improve security than more technology.
