The Bolt-cutter Vulnerability

April 10, 2009 10:46 am

This morning I blogged about the Silicon Valley phone sabotage on the Inside Interop blog. It’s a great object lesson in physical security — why padlocks can be just as important as firewalls in protecting an I.T. infrastructure. It’s also a good lesson in the importance of redundant paths for critical services. We’ve seen, time and again, just how vulnerable single points of failure make a system, and this incident proves it yet again.
