I too was disappointed to hear him opine negatively about trusted identities. However, his comments only show his ignorance on this issue and illustrate how much work is still to be done on the education front.
We can't expect people like Haines to "get it" from a 90 second spot when many IT security professionals still don't "get it".
I'm not concerned though as any comments made by Mr. Haines this morning will have ZERO direct impact on the adoption of this technology.
The leverage point is still SED management. Everything else will flow from there.
