Security vendors, spectators in a dog Fight

This blog set to diaplay 20 days of posts. Sorry Blogspot only shows 3 days, waiting for a Google fix, G

Cyber security firms, Vendors remind me of the spectators

in dog fights.

They watch, make comments, some even lament the 

violence and amount of the thefts.

But whats the difference between the security vendors?

Not much, even the free security programs compete 

effectively in terms of security.

Microsoft vs. McAfee: How free antivirus outperformed paid

So how do you decide which to buy?

The one with the new bells and whistles?

The one that promises the most?

Or just hang with the one you've been

using for ever?

How can a security vendor stand out?

Change your paradigm.

I would be very impressed with a 

vendor that actually goes out after

the bad Guys.

Knowing there isn't much difference

between them, all ineffective to about

the same level.

I would be favourably disposed towards

purchasing one that was going after botnets

and shutting them down.

I still remember the researchers who got

into a botnet and didn't do a damn thing.

The guys without BALLS.

They weren't sure about the legality of

taking down a botnet. They would have

fit right into a WWII Germany, no offense

meant to current Germany.

Jeeze I mean the security vendors have the

tools to best deal with these guys and they

do NOTHING.

They study the criminals and sell us new

locks and fences.

I suppose it works well for them on 
an economic basis, guarantees their jobs.

Of coures its not their job to go after the Bad guys

on the net.

But I'm just saying if one of them had the Balls

to do so, they would have my business, Fidelity 

and loyalty.
