Security infrastructure must become adaptive to changes in business policy and the environment. Why can't our security infrastructure quickly adapt to changes in the threat environment in ways similar to the human immune system? Why can't our security infrastructure adapt to changes in regulatory policy? We believe it can. However, significant change is required both from vendors and security departments. This presentation explores this vision and its realization.

• Which vendors will survive consolidation?
