The more we innovate and move towards a "fully integrated" technology base the higher the complexity of the overall solution - thereby leading to more security issues. This is the natural order of things.<BR/><BR/>At the end of the day, we're never going to "win" the battle over the bad guys and create a security utopia ... we're simply left trying to figure out how to *reasonably secure* the things business throws at us.<BR/><BR/>On the topic of the "Smart Grid" technology, it worries me because a single failure in security protocol isn't going to impact hundreds or thousands... but possibly tens of millions and create very nasty conditions for people.Rafal Loshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18106347834259269413noreply@blogger.com
