2 How We Got Here Computer OS, Apps and Internet Protocols not designed for security Criminals Malicious Hackers Corrupt Insiders Virus/Worm Writers Publicity Primarily Website Defacements Identity Theft

3 What We Did Panic - Haphazard Frenzied Reaction to Security Incidents Perimeter Protection Pushed Data Security to IT Departments without funding/training or understanding of special skills required Allowed development of one-off security solutions throughout enterprise

4 Results Silos By acquisition, design or reaction to a security event Little attention to security architecture, writing secure code, strategic security planning Some progress in infrastructure protection leading to attacks up the stack
