"As a security guy I cannot makethat choice to spend less to get less security. I think that’sdereliction of duty to make any choice to be less securewhen more secure is available and feasible." Is this the mindset of a true genius? I do not see this often, its kind of refreshing. Much too often I am forced to upgrade that application because it has a new feature over any number of actions you can make to make your environment more secure.
What I was thinking with spend less to get less being dereliction was many-fold, but primarily folks that make the budget decision to go with something pre-packaged but mostly ok. IDS is a prime example. You can pick up a 1U prepackaged fire-and-forget ids appliance/firewall/toaster that'll fill in the IDS audit check box (as in, yes, we have an ids. In the closet somewhere). You'd be FAR better off learning some snort or suricata, buying a stock 1U appliance very cheaply (or picking up an prepackaged IDS appliance that lets you manage things and rules) and being really aware. Better spent money, and a more aware organization. It may even cost the same as a prepackaged appliance. Doesn't work for everyone, but when you learning something is what stops you from picking the more effective choice, that's a violation of your responsibilities. IMHO. Matt
