Exactly. When did we, the security community, stop believing in the
K.I.S.S. principle and start believing in the "buy the latest
IDS/IPS/firewall/enpoint-security/data-leak-protection/patching/vulnerab
ility-scanner/harddrive-encryption/anti-malware/log-correlation/etc/etc/
etc/etc" principle that we are poorly implementing today? 


When the Internet stopped being a science project, and people
started building businesses around it. The same snake-oil elsewhere
in the business world leaks into cyberspace, too -- along with all
of the other crapola. :-)
