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. -------------------------------------------------- Benjamin P.

That's a comforting thought..... -----Original Message----- From: VULN-DEV List [mailto:VULN-DEV () SECURITYFOCUS COM]On Behalf Of Filipe Custódio Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 4:22 PM To: VULN-DEV () SECURITYFOCUS COM Subject: Re: URGENT--Vulnerability Assessment Market The fact that Forrester Research invested in the security services company "@Stake" only goes to show that they really believe in what they write: That e-security will naturally take the same logical steps that physical security took, a long time ago. I don't know of anyone who claims they can protect their business from burglars without the help of the Police or any private security firm. If this makes sense in the physical security world, it should also hold true in the networked world.
