Hi all, A couple of days after reading this post, I came across a very interesting definition for Security. The speaker actually said, "Security doesn't lie in keeping your money in a fireproof safe, locking it and hiding the key in a far away island, but lies in making a few such safes, locking them and asking a thief to try and break it." This means that no security measure is complete without testing it thoroughly. Regards C.Navaneetharangan CISA -----Original Message----- On Thursday 19 February 2004 05:07 pm, Matt Lyon wrote:
