An Information Security Place

Commentary on the State of Information Security
Filed under Pre-Categories


Mike Rothman talks about defense-in-depth in his Tuesday edition of the Daily Incite. He makes the following comment:

I’m a fan of layers (which maybe makes me a security dinosaur)…

Well Mike, if that makes you a dinosaur, then just call me Secureasauras. I am right there with ya’. I still think there is no alternative to defense-in-depth. My basic thought about this issue is this: hackers follow trends. If you start dropping the layers, then hackers will start attacking on that level. Keep the layers, and also look at new defense technologies.

I talked about this some on my RSA Conference post.
