100% Security



Security, defined as the state of being free from danger is the aspect of life that everyone wants to insure on their lives, properties, assets and so on. Due to this, people have developed ways or means of ensuring security at all cost. New and intensified ideas sprang up over the years, new technologies being built, mechanisms set in place, all to derive a sense or feeling of security.

Stephen Hawking said: “I think computer viruses should count as life.  I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive.  We’ve created life in our own image.” This statement speaks rather clear of the uncertainty of having security to a valid 100%.

Another quote from Kevin Mitnick: “Companies spend millions of dollars on firewalls, encryption and secure access devices, and it’s money wasted, because none of these measures address the weakest link in the security chain.” How can we reform this! Are we saying this is impossible to have 100% security?

Check this out from Bruce Schenier: “If you think technology can solve your security problems, then you don’t understand the problems and you don’t understand the technology.” About this, scholars have traveled world-wide even into the space to research on mediums and means for deploying this 8-Lettered Word (SECURITY) to the fullest 100% without a leak. Every single one of them with his or her own derivatives and understanding but where do we stand?

“Hoaxes use weaknesses in human behavior to ensure they are replicated and distributed.  In other words, hoaxes prey on the Human Operating System.” Says Steward Kirkpartick! Are we saying that nothing is secured?

“The only truly secure system is one that is powered off, cast in a block of concrete and sealed in a lead-lined room with armed guards.” Says Gene Spafford! Even at that what if disasters?

The quotes above were extracted from the Top 10 ICT Quotes from professionals on security but the question still rings, is there anything like a hundred percent (100%) security? The answer is Yes!

Then Where, How, From Whom and When? Watch out on the next edition.

Stay Blessed in ICT.

5 Things that Cause us to Drift Spiritually

5 Things That Cause Us to Drift Spiritually by Chris Russell Several years ago a friend of mine took his wife and kids to the ocean for a week of R&R. While they were there, they purchased a small, inflatable boat for recreational use on the beach. One day the wife jumped in the boat and launched out into the water to just lie back and soak in some sunshine. After what seemed like a short span of time, she opened her eyes and realized that she was several hundred yards away from the shore. In a panic, she screamed for help. Only one person on the shore seemed to hear her call, and that was her husband. When he realized her predicament, he immediately attempted to swim out to rescue her. That did not turn out well, because he was soon in need of being rescued as well! Fortunately the lifeguard was doing his job well that day, and he was successful in rescuing the husband and the wife. By the time he was able to get to the wife in the raft, they were nearly a half mile f...

Shapened in Wrong Hands

There are many shapes in this world used for many purposes but the specific ones are quite more in number. The architectural design of life is a very wonderful mental picture of the different kinds of shapes that is made but it is saddening that these days, you find lives that looks formless. Recounting from the day of our primary education, we know shapes to be drawings of many editable sides and angles (square, cube, cuboid, triangle, prism) and each with its uniqueness. This determines to a large extent where it can be used, who uses it, and how it can be used, who likes it and how acceptable it could be at different times. The focus of this short piece speaks of the shape analogy which applies to all lives on earth. All lives were made and shaped by God a long time before our existence and is still being shaped till we finish our tasks here on earth. God the creator of all things had made us the most complex and inspiring creature on earth with specific purposes but...

What Am I Looking At? Isaiah 45:22

Image
This question seems definite in thought but mostly the truth is usually hidden from the real picture. By the grace of God, the real picture that is to be seen will get handy in Jesus name. The necessity of the word LOOKING is reasoned form a scenario where an event is actually happening surrounded with a lot of witnesses watching to get from it, each according to their desires. The world we live in today finds itself carrying a lot of people along, giving them several things to keep looking at thereby creating a great divergence or course that is 360 o different from the supposed real picture. These areas of focus are so many and distractive in their own ways of which are wealth, fame, power, lust etc. it has come to dig deep in minds that even the average man desires them. This gets so intoxicating in everyone that we want to go to any extent, whether good or bad to achieve any of these. The main intention of this exhortation is to make us know that there is a...
