Microsoft Corp.'s top security executive on Monday called on the government to take more responsibility for the security and integrity of the nation's critical infrastructure, saying that leaving the task to vendors and market forces is a mistake. "The problem is, we have delegated security to the markets, and the markets don't do that," said Scott Charney, Microsoft's chief security strategist, during his keynote speech at the Computer Security Institute Conference here. "What we have to think about is, how much security does the market get you?"
