New Dark Reading Column is Up

March 5, 2007 10:04 pm

You can read my latest security column at Dark Reading. I manage to say good things about the Department of Homeland Security. So far, no porcine aviators have been seen.

The broader point around the column is that there are times and places to be on the bleeding edge of technology. Projects that involve securing the lives and personal information of, oh, everyone are in neither. I love new stuff as much as the next guy, but there have been far too many utter disasters around big projects built on new technology for me to suggest that Real ID should have anything that isn’t highly secure and thoroughly experienced as part of the spec.

Like the new design very much — any particular reason you link to the reprint link instead of the direct link? Is it more liable to last over time, or this way you get a cut? ;-)

I was trying to use a permalink on the site–instead, it went to the form. I’ve corrected it now, and the link should go directly to the article. Thanks for pointing out the problem.

…and no, I don’t get a cut on views or reprints. A shame, that…
