Microsoft Senior Security Strategy expert: too safe is a bad thing

In an article called Compromise: for security or for completion of work, Riley wrote, "There is a basic principle about security." You compare the cost of your possessions to the costs of a laissez-faire state. "

In other words, if several computers are on a weekly basis because of security issues, this is a calculated cost and is considered. He says it is possible to apply this justification to non-it examples, including America's War on terror.

He said that no one took off the shoes through the metal detectors will become more secure, X-ray scanners can see the body through clothing, this is unacceptable privacy violations, people should not live in such a society to accept such a rule.

Parents are paranoid about the fear of kidnapping, forbidding their children from talking to strangers. What's the result? The new generation is not even able to turn to the only stranger who helps the source.

This result is due to the lack of human communication, which is the foundation of civilized society.

An IT security program may teach children to identify attacks, rather than passively fantasize about fear. In other words, identify the way the attack is made, rather than concentrating on abandoning the tool.

Attacks, he says, usually come from the easiest way to open to attackers. 911 attacks, terrorists crashed the towers with planes because they chose the simplest option.

He warned that if the airport forced people to take off their shoes, terrorists would not be prevented from detonating bombs in queues awaiting security checks.

According to APC magazine, the DVD Riley to US Tech.ed on the Security topic report was reviewed and removed by the organizer. This is the land of freedom for Americans.
