Date: Fri, 04 Apr 2014 10:30:45 +0200 From: Pete Herzog <pete@...com.org> To: fulldisclosure@...lists.org Subject: [FD] Security Industry Scams and Lies Much of the infosec industry is perpetuating lies. It may have started with good reason but now it's a huge mess. And those lies have become part of the culture, the education, and the laws. It's a huge scam. "We have many new infosec professionals joining the workforce every year who have been schooled in product configurations, best practices, and vendor whitepapers as to what security is. Everything they know about protection has been carefully cultivated through marketing relationships with colleges and training centers with insights specially prepared and spoon fed through sponsored news headlines." from Meaning of Security Hype: http://www.tripwire.com/state-of-security/featured/security-meaning-hype/ Sincerely, -pete. -- Pete Herzog - Managing Director - pete@...com.org ISECOM - Institute for Security and Open Methodologies Need impartial, expert advice?
