Security Quotes or Stories

Hi,

I'm collecting quotes or stories to promote security awareness among users.

IF you have a favorite quote pertaining to security or technology, feel free to send them on (offlist). I'll gather them all together and post them online for everyone to use in their security programs, screensavers, etc.

Also, if you have a story that reinforces how important it is to follow good computer/network security practices, I'd love to hear from you. For instance, I was thinking of telling the story of a friend who used to administer a Novell server. He brought his young son in to work once and the son nearly shut everything down with the press of a too-easily accessed button. "Oops I forgot to back up" stories are great, too.

I'm putting together some cautionary tales blurbs for users. Once together, I can share them with the list so you can use them in your security training efforts.



Best,

"Be a scribe! Your body will be sleek, your hand
will be soft. You are  one who sits grandly in your
house; your servants answer speedily; beer is poured
copiously; all who see you rejoice in good cheer.
Happy is  the heart of him who writes; he is young
each day."

                 --Ptahhotep, Vizier to Isesi,
Fifth Egyptian Dynasty, 2300 BC
