Education

I do simple computer security consultant work for a private firm and I have to say that the best way to deal with this problem is education, if the ISPs in general send emails to customers with security tips i/e updates, worms and so forth, and tell the customer how to secure their computers and why, more people will do it, When I talk to a client and I asked if they have installed or updated their anti-virus software they usually reply with something like "yes I did it about a month ago" or "well I downloaded the Microsoft update last month", too many people do not have the knowledge that we have or understand the why of these "updates" to worry or care about it , thus not applying it more often. Let teach people the why and they will understand. Those clients of mine that have taken the time to keep up with what I and my peers have told them have been able to keep their system secured and clean. We accomplished this by teaching the Why of "why update or patch".

Just my opinion.

To keep people out, but people can break in. Thats why we have police.
