> > ever-connected world of the future will create tremendous security 
> > challenges. These challenges will be shaped by many of today's emerging 
> > trends: the rapid acceleration of network speed, connectivity and the 
> > overall number of devices; the removal of the human element from many 
> > everyday transactions; and easier and cheaper collection of public and 
> > private information. More than ever before, we will demand security 
> > solutions that enable businesses to thrive and private information to be 
> > protected.

> > Accenture has just released the Security Call to Action and executive 
> > summary, from the 15 security experts who participated in the CERIAS 
> > Security Vision Roundtable. This two-day event, jointly sponsored by 
> > Accenture and the Purdue University CERIAS (Center for Education and 
> > Research in Information Assurance and Security), brought together both 
> > industry pioneers as well as information security leaders experts at some 
> > of the largest and most influential companies in the world. The report 
> > includes a Call to Action and a list of the key trends affecting security 
> > over the next decade. The bottom-line is that doing security right 
> > requires the greater community of business leaders, technologists, 
> > educators and political leaders to look seriously at this Call to Action 
> > and to commit resources and energy to help lead us all to a more secure world.
