Security is today's Y2K

Having read that Greg came to his current position from ITAA, I am confident that he (under ITAA) has captured the spirit of the Y2K callenge at the end of 20th century.

I say this because deep in my heart I believe that security is challenge is 70% or more similar to the Y2K challenge. However, as security extends in time and scope, I would love to call it the Y2K++ challenge, to denote these important extensions.
Back to the Y2K heritage, I suggest that we have a wealth of knowledge, wisdom, experience sharing and willingness to help in voluntary work. There are also several lessons that should have been learnt. Maybe it is time to go back and dust off the old stories and re-establish the basics of how to deal with the security challenge under a national-level master plan that goes beyond technology to address business and cultural issues as well !

Having worked and earned my reputation as a high-level expert in this field, I see also potential contribution of the likes of ITAA in such an effort.

I also recall that under the Y2K issue, there was also the concern for critical infrastructure protection and that there was a presedential executive order signed for that purpose.
It just proves the point that we are basically dealing with the same issue but under a different set of circumstances and triggers that come from internal or external sources.

Joining hands and brains in such an effort is vital for its success.
