Roger will discuss how things got this way and how to fix them. Prior to this session, the material in this talk has been presented to a limited audience (internally at Microsoft and to select Fortune 500 companies). It has been reviewed and blogged about by industry luminaries, such as Bruce Schneier, and industry groups such as SANS. Roger considers this topic to be one of the most important he has come across in his career.
