Important security tips for businesses

• You can't turn shovelware into reliable software by patching it a whole lot.
• You shouldn't mix production systems with non-production systems.
• You actually have to know what's going on in your networks.
• If you run your computers with an open execution runtime model you'll always get viruses, spyware and Trojan horses.
• You can pass laws about locking barn doors after horses have left, but it won't put the horses back in the barn.
• Security has to be designed in, as part of a system plan for reliability, rather than bolted on afterward.
