Interview with Alan Cox on Computer Security

Posted by: duke on: 09/20/2005 01:59 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Slashdot has posted a link to an interview with Alan Cox regarding computer security.
Q: Where is the ultimate driving force for implementing secure software going to come from? It seems that regulatory enforcement, such as in the pharmaceutical industry, might be the only way to properly protect the consumer. A: At the moment it is coming from the cost of cleaning up. Other incentives come from statutory duties with data protection, and also from bad publicity. In the future they might also come from lawsuits--for example, if an incompetently run system harms another user--or from Government. In theory as we get better at security the expected standard rises and those who fail to keep up would become more and more exposed to negligence claims.
You can read the entire interview over here.
