Venture capitalists and analysts have the power to influence an industry through their actions and their observations. They help shape vendors' product development plans, and they guide enterprise buying. If only they could answer with absolute certainty — and unanimity — the question on everybody's mind: When is the economy going to bounce back?

Winn Schwartau
PRESIDENT, INTERPACT

Schwartau teaches security awareness to commercial and government clients. Just about every government agency in the U.S. and several foreign government organizations have used his services. One tendency he sees across clients is that people view network security exclusively as a technology issue. But Schwartau advocates a "new security triad," which is a synthesis of three security components: cyber, physical and people. It's not a new concept for Schwartau, but more people are listening to his advice following the terrorist attacks. "Bittersweet" is how Schwartau describes the recognition that his theories about an Electronic Pearl Harbor — a term he coined — are not just scare-mongering.
