Change of position

["Gary McGraw" <gem () cigital com>]

Hi all,

I have done lots of soul searching lately and have come to the
conclusion that trying to make software secure is not worth the effort.
I think instead we should concentrate more effort on protection
technologies such as advanced stateful firewalls, intrusion detection
mechanisms, host-based behavior control, and above all policy.  We
simply can't make software work effectively in a cost effective manner.

I hope all of you will agree.  

My plan is to create a new mailing list (hope Ken lets this one by)
called nsbsc-l [network-security-beats-secure-coding-list].  Look for
more information about that from me soon.
