Sitting on your hands is not an option - FUD, Compliance, what will it take to sell security?

2008-03-13 00:17:43 by HASH0x84729f8 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
...FUD to compliance. There was a time when to sell security you would ask your customer, what would happen to your business if your network was brought down? What would happen if your IP was stolen?

...FUD , but one of my 2008 predictions is coming to life with scary, scary speed I predicted that "Loss of trust towards legitimate Internet sites = yes . This is manifested by things like this point by the WS guys - more 0wned than malicious sites are used to spread malware. Even now I shudder from the thought that ANY site I visit might be...

He works for Microsoft What would Microsoft know about security For his next trick That chart really hits home the fact that statistics can be used to prove any side of any argument Of course he says Windows is the best, that's what he's paid to do Counting...

James McGovern has a piece " The Insecurity of Ruby on Rails " that Alex picked up on and I think the whole idea is a little overblown The points raised by James were Java has a security manager, Ruby does not None of the common static analysis tools cover Ruby I'll address both of these I have yet to come across a single Java application...
