there will be problems with security.


A few thoughts:

In an ideal world (yeah right!) every computer user would be security conscious. If we all thought the same it would be a dull world! Communisim, generally, doesn't work. The majority of the world is capitalist for a reason. People like their individuality / ego.

We can only educate people who want to learn. That's the problem, not all computer users are motivated to learn about security.

Most people only learn from their own mistakes. It is a wise person that learns from the mistakes of others! This, to my mind, is what slows the evolution of computer security.

Operating System manufacturers are predominantly in the business to make a profit. Unfortunately this is the way of the commercial world and it is the core driver of their business.

Good security is inconvenient, however, we generally live in a convenience orientated world. See the conflict there? lol


Take cars as an example:

The car industry has been around for some considerable time. Cars still break down and get stolen or vandalised.

There is legislation in most parts of the world that means a driver has to pass a / several tests before they can obtain a license to drive one. Drivers still crash or have / cause accidents. Some drivers still drive without a license!

The world is not perfect, the human race is not perfect, computers are not perfect, and computer security is not perfect. Nirvana, therefore, is unobtainable. Well, whilst alive at least!


Finally:

On the plus side, we've all still got employment opportunities within the computer industry whilst this imperfection exists.

Vigilance and dedication. Mitigating and accepting risk. Late nights and weekends. That's what we're all about.
This is very good! I would amend it slightly to

Mitigating and reducing risk to acceptable levels. Vigilance and dedication - that's what we're all about.
