Basically its a thinly veiled reference to the fact that all pure technical work will be outsourced to the cheapest off-shore bidder and only project managers will remain. I find this completely ridiculous to be frank. It's much more the case that project managers fail due to lack of technical understanding versus business expertise. At least thats my experience, so I don't really understand what their motive is for pushing this fallacy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-71484001279410083592007-05-02T20:11:00.000-04:002007-05-02T20:11:00.000-04:00Let me make sure I get it.The market is demanding ...Let me make sure I get it.<BR/><BR/>The market is demanding technical expertise, yet a leader in the field doesn't know what that is?<BR/><BR/>Not to be glib, but if the skills are in such high demand, it ought to be trivial to figure out what they are.

Maybe they are singletons who work in caves or dark basements. Maybe they want to teach them soft skills? They are always necessary.<BR/><BR/>And to be the devil's advocate, how does one define successful security career? One who can sustain hinself milking the cash cow? When the whole industry is failing, who is really successful?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-77201187635614807962007-05-01T07:57:00.000-04:002007-05-01T07:57:00.000-04:00Anonymous -- so?
