If security continues to decline, people and businesses will abandon cyberspace for all but the most frivolous pursuits. ... The engine of this improvement will be liability—holding software manufacturers accountable for the security of their products—and the timetable for improvement depends wholly on how quickly security liability permeates cyberspace. Network security is not a problem that technology can solve. Security has a technological component, but businesses approach security as they do any other business problem: in terms of risk management. Organizations optimize themselves to minimize their risk, and understanding those motivations is key to understanding computer security today. For example, most organizations don’t spend a lot of money on network security. ... On the other hand, the costs of ignoring security and getting hacked are small: the possibility of bad press and angry customers, maybe some network downtime, none of which is permanent. ... The costs of adding good security are significant—large expenses, reduced functionality, delayed product releases, annoyed users—while the costs of ignoring security are minor: occasional bad press, and maybe some users switching to competitors’ products. Any smart software vendor will talk big about security, but do as little as possible. ... It’s not because they’re effective; most firewalls are installed so poorly as not to be effective, and there are many more effective security products that have never seen widespread deployment.
