We have seen over the past few years tremendous growth and a massive increase in awareness of these issues. There is no single or comprehensive solution, and there will always be more to do. For this reason, I believe we need to let the Internet economy and the information technology industry operate as a market. That means it must operate without government interference. Federal security mandates or requirements, such as rules and regulations for patch application, dictates on the type of technology a company must use or legal requirements that a company declare that it follows some form of security best practices, would have the perverse effect of slowing innovation in the security market. A rule requiring notice of security practices would also have the unintended consequence of causing companies to gravitate toward accepted practices rather than toward innovative practices. - Howard A. Schmidt, Microsoft Corp. chief security officer, in testimony last week to a House energy committee panel ------------------------ Yahoo!
