Why is Information Security like Painting the Golden Gate Bridge?

Information Security is like painting the Golden Gate Bridge as it's a Perpetual task! Many people seem to believe that buying some product or security service that they can obviate their responsibility. In some cases products and services can help but they're very (very very) unlikely to help you unless security is a business consideration that is part of day to day business in process, procedure and technology.

Information Security shouldn't be an onerous task - it simply needs to be a pervasive consideration.
