Bruce Schneier has a story at Wired about his observations from the recent RSA conference. He noticed that the 350+ vendors who attended the deliberation were having difficulties selling their material or even communicating with undeveloped buyers. Schneier suggests that the complexity of the security big business* is forcing it away from end-users and into the hands of companies who can bundle it with the seconds that need it. Quoting: "When existent becomes cage -- power, water, maid service, tax preparation -- public care less about details and more about results. Technological innovations become object the shell providers pay attention to, and they package it for their customers. No one wants to buy security. They want to buy article truly useful -- database management systems, Web 2.0 collaboration tools, a company-wide network -- and they want it to be secure. They don't want to have to become IT security experts. They don't want to have to go to the RSA Conference."
