風(fēng)險投資越來越聰明了,他們越來越會問問題
From what I hear, they are interested in investing in sure things or things they can cash out in a few years.
據(jù)我所知,他們喜歡投資一些可靠的、短期幾年內(nèi)能獲得回報的項目
They aren’t interested in things that are harder to describe with longer time horizons.
那些說不清楚和時間長的項目他們是不會感興趣的。
It seems like security as a career path is a good move still.
好像以安全行業(yè)作為職業(yè)生涯仍然是不錯的。
There was a lot of excitement when there were movies about it. Fresh blood was coming into the scene.
也許是一些電影描述的緣故,這個行業(yè)有很多激動人心的東西。很多新人加入這個行業(yè)。
Now, it’s not as sexy. That has shifted to things like forensics because of Crime Scene Investigation.
但現(xiàn)在,它已經(jīng)不那么迷人了,因為經(jīng)常卷入犯罪現(xiàn)場勘查,所以這個行業(yè)更像一場辯論游戲。
But the culture will have plenty of demand for people with knowledge of computer security.
但這個行業(yè)仍然需要那些擁有計算機安全知識的人。
Some independent security researchers can make more money now because they can sell the bugs they find to companies that buy them.

Some people work for security companies by day, and then at night they will find bugs to make extra income.
一些人白天為安全公司工作,晚上研究漏洞賺外快。
If people stop talking about the bugs they find, and they sell them instead,
如果人們將發(fā)現(xiàn)的漏洞都賣掉,而不再討論
and only the companies that buy them know about them, then you have a situation of the information have and have-nots.
只有買方公司才知道這些漏洞,那么將會出現(xiàn)一種信息是有還是沒有的情形。
Will we just get second-tier information at this conference because all of the valuable stuff has been sold?
我們是否只能在大會上討論那些二線的信息,因為所有有價值的東西都賣掉了?
We have a good line-up this year and so it hasn’t happened yet.

Do you worry that some of the sensational events here overshadow the real news on some kind of important crypto attack?
你是否擔(dān)心一些引起轟動的事件會遮蔽了那些關(guān)于重要秘密攻擊的真實新聞?
Well, the crypto people would notice. Information finds its own place.
嗯,密檔人會注意。信息會找到自己的位置。
I’ve long since given up on directing where the press should focus itself. Some of the sensational stories can be understood by larger audiences.
長久以來,我已經(jīng)放棄了告訴媒體應(yīng)該關(guān)注其本身。有一些引起轟動的故事可以被更多的人接受。
