Our title is itself a book's and the first sentence, see that after the comma, is in its front flap by journalist Scott Rosenberg. Let's take some more words from it and share here. Blogging brought the Web's native character into focus---convivial, expressive, democratic. Bloggers have become the curators of our collective experience, testing out their ideas in front of a crowd and linking people in ways that broadcasts can't match. Blogs have created a new kind of public sphere--one in which we can think out loud together. The preceding paragraph is all in the book flap, front and back.

With all the tested technology specifically for security purposes, why organizations still cannot get rid of the attacks?
The following few might be one of the answers:
IPv4 is really not secure
There is two or more, if not a single straight way, to mitigate it. If it is done correctly organization can still be secure.
Plan IPv6 and turn it on now. Caveat: We still have to see how capable it is however the next generation Internet protocol has been addressed to have security integrated in the design.
Funding not enough to address security
Fund it or what many advised it never connect to the Internet.
Security not part of planning and design or had been overlooked and perceived not to be as important that time, just like when IPv4 was being developed
Good ICT programs would not only single out to address, like for instance, security. ICT presents so many opportunities and it needs to be planned and carried out very carefully. Whatever the outcome is, we know where we are moving towards, either we are doing good or bad business. Many organizations depends on IT to maximize delivery of services and inaccessible of information in the network, might derail the day with all concerned stakeholders and the overall operations so to speak.
