Security Sound Bites: Important Ideas About Security from Smart-Ass, Dumb-Ass, & Kick-Ass Quotations

by Roger Johnston

This is the revised and expanded edition of a book that Security Magazine called “fascinating” and “full of thought triggers.” Security Sound Bites offers quotes, observations, and anecdotes about security that'll make you think and make you laugh. We hear from the likes of Britney Spears and Albert Einstein, B movie dialog through ancient Greek dead guys, John Locke to Sarah Palin. Whether you're a cop, security officer, IT professional, security sales person, technician, government employee, or security manager, you'll find food for thought in this unique book. These quirky quotations can be used as a springboard for discussion with your security colleagues, or as an interesting way to open a meeting or close an email. Or they can be something to ponder on your own. In this new, revised, and expanded 2nd edition, there are over 1,600 quotations and anecdotes covering 46 topics including cyber security, security management, cryptography, biometrics & access control, vulnerability assessments, risk management, locks & seals, homeland security, crime, and the insider threat. Includes insightful and irreverent commentary from an experienced vulnerability assessor.
