Earlier this year, Home Depot fell victim to one of the worst known cyber attacks. Its systems were infiltrated and attackers stole personal information from millions of customers. The company suffered little from the attack; its stock is now at an all-time high. In the past year alone, there have been many high profile cyber attacks that have been met with little more than a shrug.

Leon Panetta, a former US Secretary of Defense, once claimed it would take a cyber “Pearl Harbor” before Americans were willing to do what was necessary to fix their computer infrastructure vulnerabilities. We haven’t faced such a catastrophe but, as the New York Times discovers, people are starting to realize that more attention must be paid to these sorts of threats. Your JoeDog has seen this new attitude first hand. His company now has more security analysts than systems analysts.
