The Doctor-Disease Analogy
NTT Application Security‘s Matt Lantinga said the industry is built on trying to help companies avoid getting hit with ransomware.
“Like medical doctors, if there was no disease, there’s no illness, you wouldn’t need doctors and it wouldn’t be very good for their business,” he said. “But I’m sure they would all say they would much rather have the world be free of all that, and we’ll find something else to do. So I think, of course it’s good for business, but if you could wave a magic wand and make it all disappear, we’ll find something else to do. There’s other businesses out there, but as long as that’s there, we’re all in the business of helping customers and companies to limit the damage.”
