On the 13th episode of The Silver Bullet Security Podcast, Gary chats with Ross Anderson, Professor of Security Engineering at the Computer Laboratory at Cambridge University and author of the book Security Engineering. Gary and Ross discuss the effect of posting his excellent book on the net for free, the simple reasons why most systems fail, the economic imbalance between engineers/developers and a system\u2019s users (with respect to who should address security), and why publicly describing attacks is essential to security engineering. They close out by examining the security implications of wearing a kilt.\n\nRoss Anderson\nLight Blue Touchpaper \u2013 A security blog by Cambridge computer scientists.\nSecurity Engineering \u2013 Ross\u2019 groundbreaking book in print and online\nWEIS 2007 \u2013 Sixth Workshop on the Economics of Information Security\nRFID and the Middleman [PDF]\nRoss playing the bagpipes\n\nThe post Security Engineering Described with Ross Anderson appeared first on Cigital \xbb The Silver Bullet Security Podcast with Gary McGraw.\nThe post Security Engineering Described with Ross Anderson appeared first on Cigital \xbb The Silver Bullet Security Podcast with Gary McGraw.
