In this article on Network World, a security expert makes the following statement:
Companies have too long focused on perimeter defenses and not on protecting data inside their networks, Curry said. Retailers and other companies need to “wake up and take these threats seriously,” Curry said. “Make the cost to the bad guys too high for them to do it.”
Nicely stated, except there are far too many companies who have bad guys making bad decisions about securing consumer data who are never touched. They really have the same attitude as the criminals i.e. “as long as I don’t get caught…………” As long as there is no accountability on that end, we’re going to continue to see problems.
