Mr. Schneier attended and sent his acceptance speech remotely via online conference. He also shared another perspective on cyber security issue, which suggests policy makers, corporations, as well as IT experts, as the Defender of society, need to look ahead to the future to anticipate what will happen in cyberspace and technology, and to hasten the Innovation Speed. In his view, in order to create a secure Internet, we need to innovate and move faster than the attacker. The reality of today is that there is a wide security gap between the Attacker and the Defender. The Defender always takes one step slower than the Attacker.
