i believe very strongly that blaming users for security failures is an ineffective approach to securing things, and I thought that this was where we were headed as an industry too. guess we're just going to throw all that out the window now though?

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.
