Security can be enhanced with hardware. You can have a software-only solution, but it can be made more robust in conjunction with hardware.

I use Mac. Not because it's more secure than everything else - because it is actually less secure than Windows - but I use it because it is still under the radar. People who write malicious code want the greatest return on their investment, so they target Windows systems. I still work with Windows in virtual machines.

Writing software that's safe even in the presence of bugs makes the challenge even more interesting.

I characterize myself as a retired hacker. I'm applying what I know to improve security at companies.

I don't want security guards. I don't think security guards are particularly good for your writing.

However, writing software without defects is not sufficient. In my experience, it is at least as difficult to write software that is safe - that is, software that behaves reasonably under adverse conditions.

If you wanna know how not secure you are, just take a look around. Nothing's secure. Nothing's safe. I don't hate technology, I don't hate hackers, because that's just what comes with it, without those hackers we wouldn't solve the problems we need to solve, especially security.

The kind of true-life writing that is fun to read - that makes an ally of the reader - is the kind that you are so nervous about putting down on paper that you lock the Word file with a secret password and encrypt it - and all of it.

I write and do all my arrangements on my Mac. And um, I use Logic Pro, which is a great software program.

I think computers are the ultimate writing tool. I'm a very slow writer, so I appreciate it every day.
