"It's a fascinating time in security in Washington, [D.C.]," Paller said.
Another sea change is under way in security: Training application developers in security. Traditionally, security has never been a part of computer programming courses. Paller said he's been making the case for stronger security training, but in many times received a cold shoulder from universities, who have little incentive to change their ways -- until now.
Heavyweight IT companies are warning universities that they don't want to have to send new hires to remedial security training. Mary Ann Davidson, chief security officer at Oracle, wrote earlier this month that she contacted the top 10 universities the company recruits from, saying only those with security training would get preference in hiring.
That's an embarrassment to universities, which will now likely modify their curriculum accordingly. Interestingly, developers want security training. "The programmers want to know what they don't know," Paller said.
