I feel another petition coming on

Will they never learn! News.com reports on Symantec's vision for

a new generation of security products and services for the connected world

and, yes, you've guessed it: it's Security 2.0. And what makes it 2.0? Well, according to Symantec's CEO John Thompson:

It's about integrating software, services and partnerships to protect customers' most important assets: their information and their interactions

So what was Security 1.0 about? It seems to that Thompson is highlighting the failings of existing approaches, rather than some radical shift in capabilities.

Don't get me wrong. The advent of the Internet (with its lack of inherent security); increased inter-organisation connectivity and collaboration; remote working etc etc all pose significant security challenges and solutions have not kept pace. It's going to take more than a version upgrade to change that. posted by Neil Macehiter @ 1:19 PM 0 comments permalink
