Sun tries to open up a better security dialogue

Posted by William Heath in Blindside project, Faster/smaller/better..., Humanity nature and activity at March 30th, 2007

Over at Sun Alec Muffett and others are also trying to open up how we talk about security, in their case starting from an industry security practitioner base. From his blog Dropsafe

me and some other folk in the Sun security community are trying something a little bit different. Security has always been a problematic topic for a corporation to discuss, except in the narrow sense of products that do some small security thing.

You know what I mean - virus scanning, crypto acceleration, software containment, hardening tools, stuff like that.

We really needed - and now we have - a forum to talk about the “soft stuff”, too. Permissions. Tips. Tricks. Little features which are not sexy enough to make the masthead of a glossy brochure.

The new shared Sun security blog tries to answer the question “how can we talk with the customer whilst using a single voice?”
