Re: Testing a Factory Car Amp and Factory Sub



incidents at Salomon,
they began issuing global email broadcasts saying that a new security
package "Internet Risk Management: email facility" had been installed,
and that Internet email traffic was actively being monitored.

They did so again and again.

I think they sent out a memo to everyone too.

Security incidents NEVER stopped.

Major violations occurred again and again and again and again...

I have come to realize that the number of security incidents a firm
has is not related to how often they warn their employees not to send
proprietary/confidential information out via email.

The number of security incidents is a function of the number of employees.

If you are a big computer-based firm (banks, brokerage, insurance etc),
then you are guaranteed to have a huge amount of proprietary/confidential
files flowing out of your Internet connection via email.

Even if you tell them again and again that it is monitored and they will
be fired for misuse.

Even if you fire people.

Even if you prosecute them.

It appears to be just like the general population and regular crime.

All sites' management expressed confidence that repeated warnings and
firings would soon stop the proprietary/confidential transfers.

It turned out to be like saying if we have a slew of laws against
crime and throw many people in prison,
