Security Philosophy with a dose of reality - 12 steps to recovery



There are couple of issues with security folks


  • Trying to stop all attacks
  • Unwilling to accept reality
  • Being extremely passionate about security without understanding the organization's appetite for risk (and sometimes losing your job because of that)


The 12 steps in the article are both good (and in a way funny)

The following 2 are my favorites:

Step 1 - We admitted we were powerless over our data insecurity - that our lives had become unmanageable

Step 12 - Having awoken from the nightmare that resulted from these steps, we tried to carry the message that 100-percent security is a pipe dream to others, and vowed to practice with more realistic security initiatives in all our affairs


DISCLAIMER:

"I am not GOD so, I admit that I could be wrong anywhere between 0 - 100%"
