Kindly enough, the author reached out to various information security vendors for their rebuttals to this unflattering portrayal of security vendors as taking more than they were contributing back to their clients. One of the responses was from the CTO of Qualys who aptly noted, &#8220;Perimeter defenses (&#8220;hard shell, soft center&#8221;) and signature-based malware programs have lost much of their effectiveness over the last few years.&#8221; This thought of course isn&#8217;t revolutionary for anyone who&#8217;s invested time and resources into cloud computing or mobile devices during the past decade. With a changing threat landscape that no longer has single-vendor networking stacks or applications from a handful of software companies, the effort to provide adequate security is becoming increasingly challenging. The question then becomes, where should you spend your money for a high return on security investment?
