Monks, Compliance, Risk, and Government
July 7th, 2008 by rybolovIf you're new here and would like to see more of what I'm saying, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed (I can even email my blog posts to you when I publish a new one) or have a look at my papers and presentations page for downloads of stuff that you can share or "borrow heavily from". You also might find my guidelines for posting comments interesting, especially if you're a government employee. If you want to see me blog about anything in particular, drop me a private email on how you think I'm completely full of myself, extend me an invitation to speak at your next security meeting/event, or just to ship a huge bag of money in my direction, you can do that through my contact page. Thanks for visiting and happy hacking!
The Abbot at the Security Monastery takes us through an interesting tour of compliance, risk management, and what the Government is doing. I’m not biased at all because it’s based on conversations with me or anything like that. =)
Now for those of you who don’t know me personally, here’s a little bit of trivia for you: Every week I go back and forth between “wow, we’re doing great things above and beyond what the private sector knows about” and “culturally, security in the Government will never work because you’re trying to do risk management in a zero-defects world”.

My guess is the horns are always there–it’s just the BSOFH’s perogative whether to reveal them or not depending on the desired effect…
