Layer 8

Security is fundamentally about people, and everything we know about people is relevant to security. -- B. Schneier

A new metrics vigilante.

Look, I don’t want to turn this into an All Marcus, All the Time slobberblog, but damn if he hasn’t gone and started something else fun.

Check this out.

Now, I only looked at the PowerPoint, because I almost NEVER do podcasts.  Mainly because people still generally can’t talk as fast as I can read, and I don’t have any spare time to speak of.  Maybe the only one who can do it is Dick Hardt.   But podcasts force me to do more unitasking than I can afford—and in my 20- to 30-minute commute, I spend all my time singing loudly along with the Rodgau Monotones, so I’m not going to displace them for more work-related stuff.

Anyway, what was I saying?  Oh yes.  The slides alone cracked me up.  It looks like Ranum is going after risk assessment, metrics and the security industry in general with guns a-blazing.  Schneier has decided that we don’t really need a security industry anyway, so Ranum will take it upon himself to do it in.

I can’t wait.  grin
