The Evolving Face of Web Security

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey, the basement in our older family home would flood several times a year. It was on a concrete slab and usually dried out after a few days, so it was okay. I came home from college one weekend and upon hearing my mom say she was going to carpet the basement, I reminded her of the periodic floods. She looked me in the eye and said, "Dammit Alan, I’m doing the best I can."

The analogy that I’d like to draw is between my mom’s futile desire to make the house a bit nicer and the impossible world of security. Both seem so daunting – my mom didn’t know how to keep the basement dry, and most business owners are equally helpless in keeping professional hackers at bay. With so much written about security, and so many high-profile security breaches in the news, it is no wonder that small businesses are frozen with indecision. Where does one start, and will any efforts even make a difference?

Would have been nice if the author of that article would have given some tips to small business owners on how to manage the threats. Raising awareness is fine except that there's no real point in getting everyone all worried and then offering no solutions.
