Google Shares Its Security Secrets

Stony Stevenson writes "Google presents a big fat target for would-be hackers and attackers. At the RSA conference Google offered security professionals a look at its internal security systems. Scott Petry, director of Google's Enterprise and founder of security firm Postini, explained how the company handles constant pressure and scrutiny from attackers. In order to keep its products safe, Google has adopted a philosophy of 'security as a cultural value.' The program includes mandatory security training for developers, a set of in-house security libraries, and code reviews by both Google developers and outside security researchers."

Re:It's that darn preset target

Yep a good philosophy to live by. Slaves should stay slaves. Citizens of oppressive dictatorships should be happy with their lot. And so forth.

People should have no liberty or security at all. Maybe something like a giant prison gone out of control on the inside but blockaded by armed law enforcement. Yeah that would be ideal.

I can't tell whether your post is Flamebait or Funny. If there were a "WTF" tag and I had mod points today, I'd just go with that.
