Auszug:

But the bulk of the report's solutions are lame. Most are meaningless jarg=
on, such as 
suggesting that "future components of the cyber infrastructure are built t=
o be 
inherently secure and dependable for their users." A fantastic sentiment, =
but as 
mushy as stating that the president is "for the children." What about maki=
ng software 
vendors liable for bug-ridden products? Or rooting out insecure Microsoft =
products 
like the troubled SQL server in favor of more secure open-source solutions=
 like 
OpenBSD?

Nothing so bold is forthcoming in the Strategy. Which is yet another indic=
ator that the 
czars of national computer security are perfectly content to tease out the=
 hyperbole in 
perpetuity. The bigger the perceived threat, the greater their importance =
inside the 
Beltway.
