Physical and Network Security Merging?
MonMotha writes "CSO reports that physical and network security may be merging in an effort to eliminate redundant jobs, create a more secure security plan, and make security procedures more standardized across the company. This would seem to be a logical step forward as businesses become more and more dependent on their computers, and as the old adage goes, an attacker with physical access already has you owned."
does this mean we are going to be giving network admins guns? I don't really trust those guys, with all their quake playing and all.

I guess I'm gonna have to start ripping CD's off from the store instead of stealing them online. After all, if they're gonna replace their security guards with fat, pimply-faced l33t h4x0rz, I probably have a better chance outrunning them...

If your boss comes to the server room and hands you a badge and a gun, please *try* to take it a bit easier on the caffeine...
(Maybe they should also ban FPS gaming during work hours too...)

I cannot wait until the Bastard Operator From Hell gets in on this....
www.eFax.com are spammers
is getting rid of that operating system that is simply 'not built for security'...;P
So, instead of Rent-a-cops, are we going to have lots of Rent-an-admin positions available?

Recently, a revolutionary new technology has been discovered that has the ability to grant access to certain areas or items to a few people, but to keep the rest of the world at a safe distance of the often high-valued areas or items. This item will provide a great security tool for network administrators, considering it enables them to secure the server rooms from 1337 h4x0rzzz with a screwdriver. This amazing device, made usually from wood but in special cases where extra security is required, made out of steel or steel/metal alloys is called a "Door" and has been hailed by security experts around the world as the "entlösung" to most, if not all security problems, especially if this device is coupled with small pieces of metal/steel called "Keys", which can be used to lock the door using a complicated mechanical procedure.
Scientist are now thoroughly investigating in alternate ways of protecting ones servers or other private belongings. Several options include Glyphs of Warding, cummon the undead to protect a server and storage of servers inside highly radioactive or otherwise toxic enviroments.

Kid on playground #2: Aaaghghgkk!
Kid on playground #1: ha-HA! You're box rootin' days are over Bad Hax0r Bill!
Kid on playground #2: Gosh darn it Tommy! Why do I always have to be the intruder every time we play 'sys-admin'?
Kid on playground #1: quit whining Robby, when we're at your house you can be the network admin
Kid on playground #2: Fine, but at least pretend you're an MSCE this time so I can win one game
Kid on playground #2: Pfft. Alright, but next time we play 'content pirate' you have to be Valenti. I'm sick of peeing my pants so I don't miss the commercials.
Now the most difficult part is figuring out how to convey "w3 0wn j00r a55, fUx0R!" over the dubious medium that is the megaphone.
