The Security Mentor

My colleague Scott Granneman talks about security analogies and gives some good ones. He's found them such a good way to teach security concepts that he has started a whole web site, http://www.securityanalogies.com, where people can contribute analogies about security.

He admits to the hazards of obscuring how things really work, bringing up one of my alltime favorite quotes:

Chandler Howell put this best when he said "Security is like an analogy. It only works up until the point that someone considers an angle or aspect that you haven't previously considered and accounted for."
