You write a lot about the lack of security education in the computer science
field. What should be done to bridge the education gap?
One thing is that some universities are beginning to teach security, sometimes
even software security–UС Dav is, the Un iv ersity of Virg in ia, Purdue, Princeton And
then, the fact is that the world is catching on. The world realizes that if we want to get
a proactive handle on computer security, we're going to have to pay more attention to
software.
Where has the security focus been, if not on software?
It's been on firewalls.
Wait, aren't firewalls software?
They're software, but they're supposed to be a partial solution to the security
problem. You're connected to the Internet and all your ports are wide open, so you get
a firewall so only a few of your ports are going to be open, and that lessens your
exposure. But the problem is that what's listening to those few ports though the
firewall is a piece of code. A lot of people treat security as a network architecture
problem. They think, «If I put a firewall between myself and the evil, dangerous
Internet, I'll be secure.» And I say, «Good start, but your firewall has holes in it on
purpose. « What's on the other side of those holes?
In the back of their minds, people know that security problems are caused by
bad software, like (Microsoft's) IIS Web server. But they try to solve the problem in
the wrong way–like firewalls–and the second way is magic crypto fairy dust.

INTERNET SAFETY AND POLICY LEADERS HIP
The Internet is fostering some of the fastest technological, social, and economic
changes in history Since coming into widespread use in the mid-1990s, it has evolved
rapidly into a global network, connecting many of the world's personal computers and
an increasing number of cell phones and other devices.
While information and communications technology (ICT) has created previously
unimagined opportunities for millions of people worldwide, it has also provided new
tools for criminals. As a leader in the industry that is creating so many benefits,
Microsoft is committed to helping address technology abuses, both in our own
programs and in collaboration with governments, law enforcement officials, and
other industry leaders.
Public policy is also critic al to shap ing the Internet's future. We w ill c ontinu e to
work with government officials and other stakeholders to advance public polic ies that
improve economic and social well-being, deter criminal activity, and enable people to
realize their full potential.
