Monday Morning Marketing from SANS

[Dave Aitel <dave () immunityinc com>]

From the latest "SANS NewsBite" email...this is their lead-in. 

"""
Should security auditors and assessors be sued for malpractice?

On Oct 11-12, seven federal agencies and a large user organization will
demonstrate innovations that they have each deployed, that scale, that
are surprisingly effective at limiting the damage from targeted attacks
and at improving cloud security. They are also low cost. Any security
auditor or assessor or certifier not checking for their implementation,
should probably be sued for malpractice. That's especially true if the
agency or company systems have been compromised. These innovative
agencies will be recognized and will brief their solutions and answer
questions about what they learned along the way at the National
Cybersecurity Innovation in Washington.  Register at

Wow. Now THAT'S marketing! "They are also low cost.". Hahahaha. It's a thing of beauty, really. Everyone should print 
it out and hang it somewhere in the server room. "should probably be sued for malpractice" is the new "that's what she 
said", perhaps? 

Also funny is the huge list of people who've let their names be associated with SANS at the bottom of every email. 
Like, "Marcus Ranum" who I'm pretty sure would cough up his skull at that level of marketing fluff. :>
