Talk Description:
	Computer and network security has been viewed as an engineering problem, and companies have tried to solve it through the application of technologies.  This approach is failing; even though technologies continue to improve, the security of the Internet continues to decline.  The real problem is not one of technology, but of process.  Network security is no different from real-world security.  The correct paradigm is "risk management."  Strong countermeasures combine protection, detection, and response.  The way to build resilient security is with vigilant, adaptive, relentless defense by experts (people, not products).  There are no magic preventive countermeasures against crime in the real world, yet we are all reasonably safe, nevertheless.  We need to bring that same thinking to the Internet.
