Inside Symantec's 'Security Center'

dipfan writes "There's a fascinating view looking at Symantec's Virginia security centre, where the company defends its corporate clients' networks against those wicked hackers. Scary quote from the Washington Post article: 'The Alexandria facility is a private, miniature version of the kind of public Internet-monitoring capability the Bush administration wants the federal government to develop to protect the nation's electronic infrastructure.'"

As for that government monitoring facility...

To man the government monitoring facility, maybe the new slavery bill, proposed by Rep. Rangel of New York, can be used to supply labor for the place.

See my homepage and/or journal for a more in-depth analysis of what Rangel is proposing. Hint, it ain't just for drafting soldiers.

scary quote?

oh no, bush wants to protect our tech infrastructure.

is everything the government wants to do automatically bad here? how about the idea of someone protecting our infrastructure.... good!

the little additions every editor always skews the hell out of the conversation.

What if the headline read, "Bush administration finally takes internet security seriously and forms unit to protect infrastructure". Wow, now its good.

If i said they were using linux, youd be writing Bush thankyou letters.
