Quotes from Schneier’s “Beyond Fear”
May 9, 2008
Just found some interesting quotes from Bruce Schneier’s book “Beyond Fear: Thinking Sensibly about Security in an Uncertain World”. I really like this one:
“Anyone can understand security. The people who think they know best, and the people who think they ought to, would have you believe that security is like quantum mechanics or brain surgery, and that it should best be left to the experts. These people are wrong: they’re trying to co-opt your agenda and increase their own power in negotiating trade-offs. Don’t accept claims that you can’t understand security. You can. Don’t accept that the technology is too complicated for you to understand. The details may be complicated, but the ways in which the system works and fails won’t be.”
