-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 So the DHS has certified FireEye's products as "Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology", which in short means that if you get breached and the attack is considered an act of terrorism, it's not your fault. This is interesting for a couple of reasons, perhaps mainly because FE's products are not exactly known to be bullet proof (see for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vh2s9Pui0E), but also for the pure ridiculousness of the whole affair. http://www.csoonline.com/article/2916649/disaster-recovery/fireeye-custo mers-get-liability-shield-thanks-to-safety-act.html The way I see it, this development is likely to lead to a couple of things: 1. Everyone who gets breached and that has a FireEye box will cry "ACT OF TERRORISM", which of course is exactly what the world needs. 2. FireEye will make a *lot* of money. 3. Terrorists won't care. Thoughts?
