Talking to security vendors and security product consumers (e.g., Michael Hamilton from Seattle) it was apparent that there is a slight misalignment between the incentives of the two. A security product consumer wants to reduce the cost of security where a the vendors would rather not. Further, security is a global property for security product consumers, where as vendors are most interested in producing point solutions based products. Would you know if and how these issues are being addressed in ITTC or ITSEF ? I attended the DHS /SRI ITTC on June 2nd.
