Infosec still in the Dark Ages, says RSA president

It is time for information security to escape the Dark Ages, according to Amit Yoran, president of RSA, the security division of EMC.

While technology may soon be capable of accelerating its own development, “we are still in the Dark Ages of Information Security,” he told the opening session of RSA Conference 2015 in San Francisco.

The fact that 2014 was yet another “year of the breach” indicates that “things are getting worse, not better” and another reminder that “we are losing this contest,” said Yoran (pictured). He went as far as saying that adversaries are “out-manoeuvring the industry, out-gunning the industry, and winning by every measure.”
