Date: Thu Feb 16 21:13:36 2006 From: bpasdar at igxglobal.com (Babak Pasdar) Subject: Your neighbor's security is critical to your security Here is a recent blog entry on why your neighbor's security is important to your organization's security. When I was a child, my mother would share with me a proverb about a woman who lived in a large village. This woman was, using today's terms, a clean freak. She would clean her house day and night, inside and out, but it still would not be clean. So she went to the village elder and asked what she could do so that her house would finally be clean. The elder responded, if you want your house to be clean, you should talk to your neighbors and make sure their homes are clean. This was surprising to the woman who asked why her neighbor's cleanliness would affect her? The elder shared that if the area around her house is clean then there will be less dirt that can find it's way into her house. The same holds true with technology security. So many organizations are extremely engaged in making their security the best it can be. Despite any efforts, what would happen if only 2% of the Internet decided to Ping your site or systems at the same time. Regardless of the capacity you boast and the big boxes in your environment, you would go down for that moment.
