Re: A reminder that security is not inherently solvable with tech nology

["J Kallberg" <jk () cyberdefense com>]

I studied at university in the 90's trust management and reputation risks.
My LL.M. thesis was about activism/online attacks and how it affected the
trust, reputation and down the line - the business of the affected.  

I realized by then that you can avoid a lot of the activism but just implementing
a few non-technical measures as removing triggering factors on the web, the
way the company present itself, how they handle complaints that they receive
online....preventing the marketing and PR to go too far and provoke activism.

I have become more human oriented and less tech oriented the last years.   

I think complaints, etc, can be an excellent source of intelligence. They are signs
and they lead somewhere.

Why do I have a feeling this is going to one of those things that 5-10 years
down the road companies are going to realize is a bad idea, and will
probably cost X times more to fix then the amount of money saved by paying
lower wages to a bunch of people half way around the world. And unfortunetly
we will all foot the bill, in more ways then one. Just my two cents.
