• Real-life example of people not seeing the big picture

    21 May 2012

    The inability to think long-term, to see the bigger picture consequences of our choices, is no doubt at the root of most information security problems. Here’s an example of what I’m talking about…what’s wrong with this car?

    No, this isn’t a race car with Hoosier racing slicks…it’s a street car owned by someone working or shopping at a Wal-Mart who has chosen to drive with improper equipment. Like many people who choose to ignore information security problems, this poor sap won’t know what hit him the next time he crosses standing water during a downpour.

    We must think before we act or we’re doomed to endure the consequences of our choices.

Client Testimonials

“A business associate referred our company to Principle Logic when we were seeking a resource to perform vulnerability /penetration testing for our external and internal networks. We found Kevin Beaver to be professional, well informed, and easy to work with. His testing did not disrupt our networks, and his progress updates were timely.

His final report was very thorough and included security recommendations for our network environment. The executive leadership was so impressed with Kevin’s security expertise, they have extended their agreement to continue to perform periodic testing. We highly recommend Kevin Beaver and Principle Logic as a resource for network security testing.”
