Security is not a state. It is a practice, exercise.
The same way your body needs physical exercise to
stay fit and feel great, the same way your online
habits should follow the good security practice and
learning it. You don't need to be a sportsman or
addicted to diets to feel well, and you don't need
to be the hacker or researcher to feel secured.
The security of people at whole is the security of
every human in person.
As a corporate you may deny the existence of people.
The same way a person denies the existence of his
body, and the importance of taking care of the body,
until it is too late. The westener who separates the
body and the mind, fail at either mind of the body.
Bring it to culture, and it will kill either mind or
body in a few generations. A decade for a company,
a century for a country. What was a great technical
center would became a religious cult.
It always tempting to say "we" or "business" to get
rid of "human factor" in press releases. But people
are those who make the work, and their unique skills,
knowledge and experience are important. As well as
feelings towards what they do.
The security is a feeling. Felling that you can sell
and manipulate. The same way junk food corporates
sell their body poison to ignorant minds, the same
way the security is sold as a paranoia remedy. The
remedy that requires a market and market makers.
This is not the security we need. The real security
comes from the piece of mind and ability to question
and validate the assumptions. The freedom to discuss
and share, and change the view of the world towards
positive picture. The picture that shows security as
a challenge that is welcoming for people to try, to
make them feel great through exercise, validation
and understanding like in sports. The same way.
