I'll include only one answer here because I want you to click through to the whole interview. Here's his answer to the last question:
Security is looked at by most companies as a cost of doing business and if my competitor isn’t investing, I can let it go too. My personal opinion is that security can be a competitive advantage if it increases employee productivity and decreases cost. It is our job to design and implement solutions for our customers that do just that. Technology should facilitate the provisions of better security and lower the cost of ownership to the organization. I believe that is possible today.
