“Consumers are overwhelmed and frustrated by all the security solutions out there,” said Verisign’s (NASDAQ: VRSN) Jim Bidzos, who organized the first RSA Conference in 1991. “In fact some of the security tools we offer are nearing the point of negative returns.” … “It’s time we started thinking about security as only part of the solution and ask what users really need from us. Today users are faced with pop-ups and all sorts of security procedures designed to make them feel more secure, but may simply frustrate them and question whether the Internet is safe,” he said. …In fact, Bidzos said the results from multiple surveys that asked consumers whether they thought the Internet is safe “indicates we’re not quite there yet.”
