    Hi Damian,

    There are two separate ideas from the book in your statement. The first is
    that readers thought that crypto was some sort of magic dust that would
    cure all security problems taken without a context. His stance turned to
    "Security is a process, not a product." (From the forward).

    The second idea was from page 385 where he suggests that you can insure
    digital security risks like any other risk.

               cheers, bob
