The Future Of Infosec

Because software is potentially infinitely foul-able it can be said that
it is also infinitely insecure. Though cracks in the system are
sometimes obvious and thus easily patched, others are only exposed after
introducing an element into the security equation that a software
developer hadn't anticipated. It's this reason why Infosec (an acronym
for information systems security) will continue to be an ever-growing
technological field of work. Daniel R. Miessler submitted the following
editorial to osOpinion/osViews which explores the intricacies of this
relatively new facet of our computer-centric lifestyle and how its
changing society.
