Re: Information Week: 2/3 of pros want immediate disclosure

[Ron DuFresne <dufresne () winternet com>]

Which adds to the full disclosure debate a resounding, disclose asap.  And
shows that many in the industry feel this is needed to not only address
issues in their envs as quickly as possible to mitigate problems until a
fix/poatch is available, but, that most feel dicslosure puts the pressure
on their vendors to respond to issues as they become discolsed.

Thanks,

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
