Spare a thought for ordinary citizens, your customers, who, with their limited resources and information asymmetries, are the most vulnerable and often the biggest losers in attacks where illicit financial gain is the key motive. Innovations, such as the advances in biometrics and digital identities, hold great promise for individual security.
We wait for industry to translate these gains into suitable security measures applicable to corporations. Innovation, however, cuts both ways. Advances in, for example, cryptography prompt further improvement in decryption technology. We therefore cannot be complacent about our cyberdefences.
