7 Conclusion
Security without being cognizant of the underlying business paradigm it needs to
protect is a risky business. This paper presents many critical modern IA shortfalls.
These failures largely come from inheritance the old IA paradigm and the inability to
recognize the revolutionary security requirements. Having all the tools, lumbers and
materials does not equate a house built. It is the blueprint that put the house together.
Ad-hoc application of materials and tools builds only leaky house. IA also needs to be
more than the last minute patch-up. It needs to be a business-enabler — the
technology that leads the creation the next generation of business paradigm. Playing
the IA catch-up game and gambling on the shaky security assumptions are major
roadblocks to the security of modern large-scale infrastructures.
