My conclusion was So ethical considerations aside, I have never considered FUD a long term strategy. Its persistence I imagine can be attributed largely to regular changes in the ranks of security decision makers, and a mind-numbing churn in technology and the IT sector as a whole. The same “new fears” are being presented to new people, as FUD has gone into heavy syndication in the IT Security industry and its always showing in re-runs somewhere. Put your time and energy somewhere else. In short fuhgeddaboudit ! rgs Luke Hi, nice article and I have my own take at the link above. My conclusion was

I have other objections to your recommendations, as I stated, but I was mistaken to label it as all FUD.

Overall, I hear what your saying though re FUD. It does drive a lot of wasted investment. Part of the blame is on us though. We've got to give decision makers the data they need to make justified decisions. If we do that, I believe the reign of FUD will end.
