"The Internet is very insecure," said F. Thomson Leighton in his keynote speech at the Harvard Business School Cyberposium 2005. Leighton, co-founder and chief scientist at Akamai Technologies Inc., based here, noted that over 4,000 viruses were found last year and that 83 percent of the country's financial institutions were compromised.
