There is something inherently odd about that statement, and intent.  As in any 
area of security, how can you protect against threats you don't know about as 
effectively as against threats you do know about?  Not to say that you can't 
attempt to protect against the unknown (and you should), but doing it at the same 
level doesn't seem possible.  (Or wise, in terms of cost/benefit analysis and risk 
management.)

Again, there is something inherently wrong in "standardizing" in order to meet a 
non-standard threat.
