Noam Eppel from SecurityAbsurdity.com has written a great article on the failures of the Information Security community. It describes how the IT security industry is struggling to keep ahead of the hackers and doesn’t seem to have noticed there’s a problem.
Spyware, phishing, trojans, viruses, worms, botnets, spam, web application vulnerabilities, DDOS attacks, ActiveX, passwords, encryption, zero day exploits, wireless insecurity, patch management, internal attacks, mobile viruses, and even security software itself gets a good bashing in this eye-opening, reference-filled paper.
