I knew I would get into trouble citing mama Pasdar's old proverbs :)

Are you suggesting that my house is a mess?

Here is a recent blog entry on why your neighbor's security is important
to your organization's security.
When I was a child, my mother would share with me a proverb about a
woman who lived in a large village. This woman was, using today's terms,
a clean freak. She would clean her house day and night, inside and out,
but it still would not be clean. So she went to the village elder and
asked what she could do so that her house would finally be clean.
The elder responded, if you want your house to be clean, you should talk
to your neighbors and make sure their homes are clean. This was
surprising to the woman who asked why her neighbor's cleanliness would
affect her?
The elder shared that if the area around her house is clean then there
will be less dirt that can find it's way into her house.
The same holds true with technology security. So many organizations are
extremely engaged in making their security the best it can be. Despite
any efforts, what would happen if only 2% of the Internet decided to
Ping your site or systems at the same time. Regardless of the capacity
you boast and the big boxes in your environment, you would go down for
that moment.
