Layer 8

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

Things you never thought you’d hear yourself say …

when working in IT security:

1.  Quick, I need a medium-scandalous JPEG to post.

2.  Make mine a Caesar cipher ... with the bacon bit, please.

3.  When he goes falsetto, you know it’s time to leave the room.

4.  Yes, we’re the security group, but we don’t break into lockboxes.  Sorry.

5.  Let’s just hook up the printer straight to the shredder.

6.  Damn, I forgot your password.

7.  No, drawing a black line in the Word document doesn’t count as redacting.

8.  Just how far DID we get bent over?

9.  Let’s get the pentester drunk tonight so that he’ll sleep late while we upgrade the firewall.

10.  I sure hope that’s a milkshake on that keyboard.

And things I never thought I’d hear myself say ... quite so much:

1.  We’re doing WHAT??!??
