Sooner or later, every business will have its computer system tested by a hacker. That is the grim message from software giant Microsoft, which is holding a security summit in Auckland today. In 2001, software developers were 331 days ahead of the hackers. By 2004 that was down to 14 days.

Microsoft's chief technology officer, Brett Roberts, says the trick to defending a company's software and hardware, is to educate the work force.
