Resumo

John Thompson, chair and CEO of Symantec told delegates at RSA 2005 that the “security game changed forever with Slammer. “Security as traditionally delivered was no longer good enough”, he said. And, in a side-swipe at his fellow keynote speaker Bill Gates, he said: “Nor is Microsoft sufficient for large enterprises. Slammer slammed Windows. A focused company like Symantec will always offer a better security solution than a player distracted by computer games,” he added.
