Maybe You Should Stop Playing Games

from here

Here's a sentiment that really needs to go die in a fire. Security isn't something you win or lose at, don't treat it like it's a game. Cybercrime is CRIME. Nobody talks about regular criminals "winning", and it's not because criminals aren't getting away with stuff (they certainly are), but rather because that's a ridiculously simplistic way of looking at the world.

Defenses will always have weaknesses. There will always be victims. Stop putting all your eggs in the prevention basket and start learning how to recover from failure. Being able to recover from failure is the only way anyone succeeds.
