We had a speaker from Goldman Sachs today for the Homeland Security class. Pretty interesting talk. I was impressed by the amount of efforts giants such as Goldman-Sachs have to put in to be on top of things. And I was surprised by how knowledgable (technically) the speaker was. It seems they are really doing a lot of things to safeguard themselves against all kinds of attacks and catastrophes. They are trying to build what they call a resilient enterprise.
I liked one quote in particular from his slide: We need secure products, not security products. Its an interesting thought – if our entire hardware, software infrastructure was built ground up with security in mind, would we still need things like virus shields and spam filters and intrusion detection systems?

Great site. Found your blog while searching for more information at yahoo and found “Secure products, not security products “. Your blog has quite a lot of interesting thoughts. Keep up the good work. If you want, you can find something interesting in Intrusion Detection.
