Businesses are going to have to take responsibility for protecting themselves … for a long time we’re going to have to be very suspicious about who we connect to.

Katzke replies: ”[Regarding security ‘firewalls,’] I think businesses are going to have to take responsibility for protecting themselves … for a long time we’re going to have to be very suspicious about who we connect to. Ideally the NII [National Information Infrastructure] would contain totally embedded security, but I don’t think we can expect that in the near future.”
