Secrecy is Weakness: Patched with a Word
Just in case you thought the SiW philosophy was getting a little theoretical:
"It seems that many if not all IT Auditors, CSOs, and IT security staff, live daily with the fear of the "never expiring password" being exposed. It is the unspoken taboo - the wide open back door in every corporate network today. It is virtually certain that there is not a single business critical application in your company that isn’t wide open. Do you ever wonder how it is that information such as credit card details, personal data, intellectual property, seems to always be so vulnerable. You would think that companies had adequate security precautions to stop this happening, and yet it continues to be a problem." (via net-security.org <- /.)
