According to Wired, a faltering economy, staffing cuts, user education and upper management's unwillingness to put their money where there mouth is when it comes to security appear to be the biggest problems affecting those responsible for keeping computer systems safe. A choice quote from the article: "When IT people get together, a good percentage of them will bitch about how they can't manage systems with a skeleton staff, and no budget to speak of," said a systems manager at a Manhattan bank who spoke on the condition that he be identified only as Joe Smith. "Most of the people who make the spending decisions are either not technically astute enough to grasp the importance of security, or just hope against hope that no one is going to attack our servers."
