Isn’t “defending the castle” products – aming for certain death?

by niels . Updated 17 years, 10 months ago

I’ve followed IT-security discussions for years – and have approached the problem from a different angle, creating an End-2-End Encryption Platform which is 100% user transparent, 100% controlled and based on solving basically all ?holes in the chain?. It is called KryptoSigri, done with some super intelligent people – but this is really not what I want to start a discussion about ? it is this problem I see coming:

We all want new ways to work. Work is no longer a place we go to ? but something we do, and something we want to do in a flexible way ? not being bound by a corporate computer, VPN clients, PKI solutions etc. etc. (all junk in my mind anyway).

This creates a problem I?ve puzzled with for some time now. How does elderly and mostly ignorant people at the Board of Directors ? make sure the corporate IP is secured ? when we are moving towards the ambient Enterprise or the virtual organisation.

This to me is something I can foresee will grow bigger and bigger unless leadership will acknowledge these problems and put some people on the boards or in advisory boards that can steer them through the next 20-25 years of IT-headaches.

Would like to open the floor for comments on this topic ? there must be other people than me thinking about, why on Earth we are not in better shape when it comes to secure corporate electronic assets.
