Customers are tired of having to research, acquire and implement piece-meal solutions from startups and other specialized vendors, and are increasingly demanding that large IT vendors provide secure technology solutions. What could be next target for security breaches? TV set top boxes? Dual Mode VoIP enabled mobile phones? Internet-enabled consumer products?
