The single biggest challenge in computer security at the present time is how to build *and deploy* servers that stay reasonably secure even when run by the average wave-a-dead-chicken sysadmin, and desktop-class boxes that can survive the best attempts of Joe Sixpack's "Ooh shiny" reflex, and Joe's kid's attempts to evade the nannyware that Joe had somebody install.
