Topic: Many argue that the battle against the "bad guys" (hackers, individuals that generate Malware) is already lost. They reason that the problem of protecting our global information technology infrastructure is almost hopeless when one considers the hundreds of million of lines of code in the Operating Systems, user applications or dedicated embedded solutions that are vulnerable to malicious attacks due to inherent software defects. We believe that this is not the case and therefore challenge the panelist to argue the following ideas:
- Have the bad guys won?
- If not, will they win in the near future?
- If we are going to prevent the “bad guys” from winning, then, What are the existing gaps in products, future products, or basic research that need to be addressed in order to prevent the chaos that must certainly follow if they win?
