What the hell is this about?
First, pardon my lingua franca. Which BTW is a term derived from 17th century Italian; the French picked it up later. But I digress. What the hell, it’s my blog.
There — that’s what it isn’t. The way I just used “What the hell” I mean. In that sentence it means “Why not?”.
In the name of my blog it means something different. Namely, “What in Hades did he just say?”. Which segues to its subtitle, “Startling new ways of thinking about security.”
What makes this blog worthwhile and unique is that is it targets the security industry. From the inside. Bluntly, and provocatively. But only enough so to snare interest. I’m really not a cynic or a pessimist. I just think that we security pros have been posturing for too long on the moral high ground of Mount Security.
The fact is, we’re as infallible as everybody else. We create nearly as many problems as we solve, like everybody else. Bottom line, we’re just like everybody else, only maybe a little worse, because we’re supposed to know better.
I’m really not out to give anybody hell. But I am out to be honest. To paraphrase Harry Truman, I just tell the truth, and people think it’s hell.
