IT security is like running with the Red Queeen!
In Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass", Alice is constantly running but remaining in the same spot.
"Well, in our country," said Alice, still panting a little, "you'd generally get to somewhere else — if you run very fast for a long time, as we've been doing."
"A slow sort of country!" said the Queen. "Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!"
In IT security we have to run as fast as we can just to keep status quo, and if we want to improve security we have to run even faster :)
