I agree wholeheartedly. This is not Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream. This is
supposedly the largest security company in the world. They ought to be
ashamed of themselves and someone ought to get fired.
None of the large security companies are security companies any more. Check
Point hasn't ever been. TIS was and PGP was but they're lost in NAI. Raptor
was, but was eaten by Axent and now Symantec which used to be an AV company
but now is moving into the same realm as NAI... Big big business. Let's
make millions for the CEO. Faster, cheaper, is better. Bigger is better.
The Walmart of the security business.
Let smaller security product companies take heed.
