Sunday Security Maxim

June 14, 2015 by Marc Handelman in Security Maxim

Plug into the Formula Maxim: Engineers don’t understand security. They tend to work in solution space, not problem space. They rely on conventional designs and focus on a good experience for the user and manufacturer, rather than a bad experience for the bad guy. They view nature as the adversary, not people, and instinctively think about systems failing stochastically, rather than due to deliberate, intelligent, malicious intent. Compiled by Roger G. Johnston, Ph.D., CPP, Argonne National Laboratory
