RE: Why Security testing is required

["Navaneetharangan" <navaneeth () innsolutions com>]

Hi all,
A couple of days after reading this post, I came across a very
interesting definition for Security. The speaker actually said,
"Security doesn't lie in  keeping your money in a fireproof safe,
locking it and hiding the key in a far away island, but lies in making a
few such safes, locking them and asking a thief to try and break it."
This means that no security measure is complete without testing it
thoroughly.
