Changing the status quo for security

When a problem is recognized that impacts virtually everyone and a group of experts provides a solution, what can possibly prevent the solution from being used? If the problem was global warming, with the need to reduce CO₂ as the solution, it would be easy to identify the extensive buy-in required from scientists and governments around the world as a major issue. If the problem was a computing and communication tool that did not require a keyboard as the human machine interface and you introduce a product (the iPad) that costs $499, you could have sold over 3 million units in 80 days. That’s immediate acceptance by a significant portion of the world’s population and cost was not an issue.
