The reactive nature of policies that people ignore
09 Jul 2010I got stuck in a traffic jam while passing through the famous and lovely town of Kennesaw, GA yesterday because of this unattentive truck driver trying to cross a raised railroad crossing:
I wonder what part of the No Trucks sign he didn’t understand. There’s another sign out of the frame that warns truckers of a $1,000 fine if they cross there. Ouch!
This situation can be compared to the disconnected and reactive nature of most security policies. People ignore them and the repercussions are reactive in nature….two things that certainly aren’t going to keep an incident from happening in the first place.

“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.”
