Bruce Schneier: We Are Losing IT Security War
Companies are losing the battle to secure their IT systems from attacks by hackers and other threats, warned Bruce Schneier, the founder and chief technology officer of Counterpane Internet Security. “I don?t think, on the whole, we are winning the security war. I think we are losing it,” Schneier said in a speech that was webcast Wednesday at the Hack in the Box Security Conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As systems get more complex, they get less secure, according to Schneier. Even as security technology improves, the complexity of modern IT systems has increased at a faster rate. “The Internet is the most complex machine ever built,” Schneier said. “This explains why security is getting worse.” In addition, the nature of the threat that companies face has changed in important ways. Where hacking was once considered a profession for hobbyists, a growing number of hackers are now criminals with a profit motive. “The nature of the attacks are changing because the adversaries are changing,” Schneier warned.
