Re: Castles and Security (fwd)

[Darren Reed <darrenr () reed wattle id au>]

Thinking about the "Castles and Security" title, I'm inclined to believe
that they don't make such a good analogy.  A castle's purpose is, when it
boils down to it, to protect the ruler and/or their riches.  There might
be some amount of secret stuff too, but that's usually of lesser importance
and gaining that material is usually in the realm of spying, not warfare.
If you are thinking that a firewall is like a castle, then maybe a spy is
more akin to your real enemy than an army (or terrorist).  How good are
castles at keeping out spies ? ...
