no silver bullet

There's an entire industry based on the assumption that Security Management is about fancy technology. The latest and greatest product, the silver bullet which will finally turn the tide and help us defeat adversaries once and for all.

Yawn.

To me, it's all about people. The folks who envision, design, build, deploy, operate, evolve, maintain and - when that day comes - decommission the system in a controlled fashion. Most importantly, the Owner who remains accountable throughout the system's life-cycle.
