And even in the physical protection market, how much security does
a widget need? One fat guard? Ten Armed guards?

Securicor and Vale seems to be doing very nicely....

 | Actually, it will be true.  Eventually it will be a highly commoditized
 | business to "guard" network security.  Of course the people who design,
 | install, and maintain the security systems, especially high-security or
 | custom systems get paid significantly more than the guards.
 | 
 | Of course this commodity model depends on the maturity of an 
 | industry.  The
 | physical premises to guard don't change dramatically anymore.  
 | They may get
 | taller or wider or build from somewhat different materials, but 
 | all the same
 | principles still apply.  I believe in network security we are 
 | nowhere near
 | that maturity level yet, and the foundations on which we must base our
 | network security change daily--as often as the network.  Until 
 | that settles
 | down, we will remain an immature industry demanding highly skilled and
 | adaptive personnel.
