Approaching Security (by Joe Levy)
A $20,000 firewall with every industry certification will not make you secure. VPNs, NAC, 2FA, DLP, FDE, and WAFs will not make you secure. Achieving regulatory compliance or passing a vulnerability scan will not make you secure. So what will? Nothing. Literally.

Pursuing a goal of absolute security is untenable. Instead, security should not be considered a goal or a final destination, but rather a perpetually reiterative effort.
To institutionalize this, we should look at information security in terms of risk management—the practicable mitigation of risks to an acceptable level. Such an approach to security should be considered not only by CSOs and designers and implementers of information systems, but also by IT consultants and vendors en masse, as it may help to usher in systems where security is a natural and integral component rather than an afterthought.
