Fatal wine waiters

2007-12-20 18:59:04 by Richard Clayton in Light Blue Touchpaper

...fine, a seatbelt was fine in 1935 and its still fine today, but there are lots of other safety controls in cars. ABS, airbags, traction control, they all protect the assets far better than in 1935, that's what we need to build Anyone can make bad assumptions (assume you know who owns what risk) and its easy to make bad abstractions (the...

IDS/IPS - is it Vitamins?

2008-09-24 18:35:00 by RaviC in Musings on Information Security
