re: #103 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Part of my job focuses around computer security. One of the worst things I have to deal with is managers and sales offering solutions bypassing security with the statement “Well, we can just work it into the contract so that they can’t do that.” I try pointing out that I’m not so sure the Chinese and Iranians will follow what the contract states. It usually goes over their heads.

You have my sympathy. It’s been my observation , in government anyway, that the primary focus of “computer security” is not on securing the computers from intruders, but rather on securing management’s @sses from culpability if and when the intrusions occur.
