When you have consistent problems, maybe what you are doing needs to change

Has any of these "Security Products" truly improved the security posture of the World?

AntiVirus
Data Loss Prevention
AntiMalware
Encryption
IDS/IPS
SIEM

Spam, phishing, malware, identity theft, bank accounts being drained, corporate secrets being revealed continue at an alarming rate, just review the statistics SC Magazine publishes on a monthly basis. So if we continue with more point solutions, I will take the Vegas odds that security issues will pretty much remain the same 5 years from now.  The science of Information Security needs to change, don't try to fix a soar throat by removing the throat.  More focus should be placed on behavior modification techniques because technology will always be compromised due to humanity.

This rant is not finished, I will follow up shortly.
