Brian Snow’s (Former Technical Director for NSA’s Information Assurance
Directorate) talk on Assurance was pretty good. There were some leaps
to be made from an open market to where he figures things should be,
but given that he was there with a “Security Evangelist” title, his
guidance was pretty much spot on. He provided a quote from Robert
Morris Sr. to support one of his arguments, I thought it quite clever: “Systems built without requirements can’t fail, they merely offer surprises. Usually Unpleasant. –Robert Morris”. He also shared the observation about the one-word synopsis for computers and security: computer::sharing && security::isolation, there’s indeed a bit of irony in this.
