On Process
“The mantra of any good security engineer is: 'Security is a not a product, but a process.' It's more than designing strong cryptography into a system; it's designing the entire system such that all security measures, including cryptography, work together.”
- Bruce Schneier, Cryptographer and Computer Security Expert
On Breaches
“Most people are starting to realize that there are only two different types of companies in the world: those that have been breached and know it and those that have been breached and don’t know it. Therefore, prevention is not sufficient and you’re going to have to invest in detection because you’re going to want to know what system has been breached as fast as humanly possible so that you can contain and remediate.”
- Ted Schlein, Venture Capitalist at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers
On Resonsibility
“As the world is increasingly interconnected, everyone shares the responsibility of securing cyberspace.”
- Newton Lee, Counterterrorism and Cybersecurity: Total Information Awareness
