The world of security is getting turned on its head as a result of a changing definition of risk. A huge force is upon us, and it is called cyber crime. It will impact your business if you plan to stay in the security business for the foreseeable future. Cyber crime is like the “crazy aunt in the attic.” Everybody knows she is up there, but nobody acknowledges her. This problem is too big to ignore any longer. The security of our nation is at stake and if your products and/or services are networked you will be increasingly expected to understand security issues that come with that. If you opt out of that responsibility, your customers will find someone who is security enabled. Failure to understand the cyber threat is not an option.
