The Networked Economy: Shaping the Future of Retail - Part 3

The buzz: Yes or not yet? “There are only two types of companies today: those that have been breached and know it—and those that just don’t know it yet,” noted John Chambers. As a retailer’s networked connections expand and firewalls grow porous, added scrutiny is needed on security inside their IT landscape, as well as within their partner and consumer environments.

Brent Brown, HP: “If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else” (Y. Berra). Brian Kilcourse, RSR Research: …computer viruses should count as life…the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive” (S. Hawking).
