Layer 8

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

With a song in my heart …

First I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I just had to have a firewall by my side
But then I read so many blogs
Saying that I must be wrong --
Completely wrong --
And how we all should get along

Here comes this post
From outer space
Where Hoff is throwing his new
Paradigm-shifting term in our face
I should have stayed with Jericho and got my CISSP
If I’d have known that I’d be stuck
With this “survivability” ...

Go on now, go
And blog some more
Say it’s all different
It’s not “security” any more
We’ll draw new graphs and charts and find some brand-new metrics we can try
Forget perimeters
Forget AV and PKI

Our information will survive
As long as we all join the club our data stores will stay alive
They’ll have water and MREs
They’ll build some shelters in the trees
They will survive ... they will survive ... hey hey!

(My humblest thanks to Pete Lindstrom for the inspiration.)

That was funny.  You owe me a keyboard.  Covered in Diet Coke now.

Nice! You’re truly multi-talented. I’ll be waiting for you singing that one on youtube.
