After spending the last couple of years researching a new technical approach to solving the endpoint security problem that I think is at the cause of most of our trouble, I realized that there was another issue that was every bit as critical to address:  People just don't believe that the problems of data breaches and exploits can get any better.

I've written a pretty straightforward proposal for getting users and organizations to rethink that fatalistic prediction, using some ideas from behavioral researchers James Prochaska and C.C. DiClemente.  It is a multi-step process, and I've tried to give some suggestions for concrete things to do as you seek to inspire confidence in doing things differently.

Take a look, and let me know what you think.
