  1. Missing the point on Secure OS Gets Highest NSA Rating, Goes Commercial · · Score: 1

    On their web page Integrity claims:

    INTEGRITY is secure.
    Windows, Linux, VMware, and others are not.
    And we can prove it.

    http://www.integrityglobalsecurity.com/pages/learnCommon.html

    Then the website mentions the TJ Maxx hack (and that TJ Maxx was not running the INTEGRITY OS). But the TJ Maxx hack had little to do with the OS, but rather the wireless encryption protocol in use.

    From my limited experience, it seems most attacks like social engineering, weak passwords, poor configuration, etc., are much softer targets than the OS itself. To claim that the OS is the panacea of security is missing the point.
