Hackernomics

Law 1:

Most attackers aren't evil or insane; they just want something. Corollary 1a:

We don't have the budget to protect against evil people but we can protect against people that will look for weaker targets.

Law 2:

Attackers may attack you; auditors will show up. Corollary2.a:

Security isn't about protecting something completely; it's about reducing a risk at some cost.

Corollary 2.b:

In the absence of metrics, we tend to focus on risks that are either familiar or recent.
