0From the Horse’s Mouth: Cybersecurity Pros’ Favorite InfoSec Quotes
Locked down and socially distancing like the rest of us, John Opdenakker took to Twitter to ask the question, âWhatâs your best #infosec quote?â As youâll see, this has sparked an interesting discussion with over 189 comments, part serious and part humorous, giving us a much-needed distraction while reinforcing the importance of InfoSec in our highly connected and cyber-insecure world.
The Serious
- âAs John Chambers famously said, âThere are only two types of organizations: Those that have been hacked and those that donât know it yet!ââ
- âItâs not a question of if, but when.â
- âSecurity isnât something you buy, itâs something you do, and it takes talented people to do it right.â
- âIf itâs smart, itâs vulnerable.â
- âIt takes 20 years to build a reputation and few minutes of cyber incident to ruin it.â
- âSecurity should be built in, not bolt-on.â
- âIf you canât afford security, you canât afford a breach.â
- âPeople, the weakest link.â
The Humorous
- âWe shouldnât worry about getting hacked, thatâs illegal.â
- âItâs not a bug, itâs a feature.â
- âNever underestimate a developer with a deadline.â
- âDonât put a $100 lock on a glass door.â
- âThe most secure computer is the computer thatâs off.â
- âItâs worse than you think.â
- âDonât pet strange dogs.â In other words, if it doesnât feel right, donât click on it.
- âGiven the choice between dancing pigs and security, users will pick dancing pigs every time.â
- âInfosec: The Few. The Proud. The Paranoid.
- âGive a man an 0day and heâll have access for a day, teach a man to phish and heâll have access for life.â
And perhaps Mike Thompson @AppSecBloke gets the last word (just as timely as when it was first posted almost 10 years ago):
