Calling China's online censorship system a 'Great Firewall' is increasingly trendy, but misleading. All walls, being the creation of engineers, can be breached with the right tools.

I always keep a firewall between my own travails and my perception of public-policy issues; otherwise I would retain no credibility as a commentator.

I have some security that could protect me against provocations but of course there are more terrible actions that could not be stopped by any security.

In cyberspace, it is becoming increasingly difficult to uphold security for one's own country by sacrificing that of others.

What we are seeing now is customers shifting their attention from security products like firewalls and intrusion sensors, to the policies that need to be in place, and the technologies that help them enforce policy compliance.

Companies spend millions of dollars on firewalls, encryption, and secure access devices and it's money wasted because none of these measures address the weakest link in the security chain: the people who use, administer, operate and account for computer systems that contain protected information.

Security is an attempt to try to make the universe static so that we feel safe.

We are living in a world where everything is based on security.

Security is when everything is settled, when nothing can happen to you; security is the denial of life.

Being connected to the Internet means being vulnerable to coordinated actions that can knock down walls of secrecy and shatter mechanisms of control.
