“Your paradigm is so intrinsic to your mental process that you are hardly aware of its existence, until you try to communicate with someone with a different paradigm.” –Donella MeadowsFor some of us, security is realized through physical and network controls that address the risks in a given environment. Others view techniques aimed at education and user empowerment as critical to organizational security.
