Expert: Net security's a losing battle

"The complexity of the Internet is increasing more rapidly than our ability
to secure it, according to Internet security expert Bruce Schneier.

At the opening of the annual Information Security Solutions Europe (ISSE)
conference in London on Wednesday, Schneier, who is chief technology officer
of Counterpane Internet Security, claimed that the problem of Internet
security will never be resolved.

"Traditionally, Internet security has been thought of as a technology issue,
based on the notion that you can build products to plug the holes," said
Schneier. "But we are losing the battle with computer security. We are
building new products, but every year gets actively worse."
