Every system, no matter how secure and well-designed, will be broken by
some idiot user. (James Gaskin)

If you think technology can solve your security problems, then you don't
understand the problems and you don't understand the technology. (Bruce
Schneier)

Social engineering bypasses all technologies, including firewalls.
(Kevin Mitnick)

The only truly secure system is one that is powered off, cast in a block
of concrete and sealed in a lead-lined room with armed guards, and even
then I'm not so sure... (Gene Spafford)
