Everything I Needed to Know about Network Security I Learned at the Tower of London

Sep 27, 2000

Abstract

Recent events have demonstrated the fundamental vulnerabilities of the Internet, the limitations and shortcomings of our defensive strategies. It is becoming increasingly clear that we will not succeed in securing the network by patching Unix. While it is urgent that we respond, many of us seem to be running out of options; we have done what we know how to do and it is not working.

This presentation will revisit fundamental tactics such as perimeter defenses, bastions, firewalls, layering, man-traps, alarms and others. It will use the Tower of London to illustrate these tactics and to show how to integrate them into a coherent and reliable strategy.
