   Andy Evans, senior security engineer at Ecora, a security vendor and consulting firm in Portsmouth, N.H., has this to say about security: ìIts importance was always acknowledged,î says Evans, ìyet, before you might see a bit of fall down on some forms of implementation beyond firewalls, which were always fairly well attended.
   ...
   Evans and the others call for the creation of ìclosed feedback loopî of assessment, upgrade, and testing, as well as a multilayered approach to online protection.
   
   Where such an approach might have once smelled of overkill, Evans believes recent service disruptions have everyone taking a protective stance.
   ...
   While Evans, Dobrow, and Young all agree that there is no provable correlation between recent hacker attacks and terrorism, each in their own way admits that internet-related crime and mischief are a bigger problem than they used to be.

   Andy Evans , senior security engineer with Ecora , says that the Linux community is much better in responding to holes. On the other hand , even with its open source advantage , it is still getting hacked and has not fully proved itself just yet , he adds.
   
   Other Microsoft challengers maintain that the company has produced a bevy of holes in its platforms to present a more user-friendly product. In its case , function overrides strong security mechanisms. Little surprise here : security risks are usually latent and require sizable investment to mitigate , whereas usability is evident and produces tangible profits , says Aelita's Ozherelyev.
   
   Microsoft's Lipner says that the company is focused on secure and usable products people want to buy. In doing this a balance must be struck - no product can be so secure with locks so strong that people are prevented from getting any use out of it.
