IT Quote of the Day: Jeff Moss
I like Information Age quotations. I find some of them very inspirational and like to carry a new one around about every week. I thought that i could share mine with you from time to time.
Here is my quote of the day:
“Establishing dependable network security isn’t like following a recipe for brownies.] A lot of people think you can buy a firewall, install it, and be done with it, … have the person who knows the most [about computers] read the manual and do the job.”
- Jeff Moss
Jeff Moss is the founder of the Black Hat and DEF CON computer hacker conferences. You can learn more about our quote source at Wikipedia.
So how do you think that this relates to Information Technology? How do you think that it could be important to Information Technology Professionals?

That is my Information Technology Thought of the Day (ITTOD) for February 22, 2010 by Scott Coughlin.
