A new proposal for information security regulations

Ira Winkler, CISSP, CISM, argues that self-relating will no longer work for information security. He proposes a set of regulating rules that every computer, system, or network should obey when it is connected to the public network.

While we can always expect miscreants to attack us, either maliciously or for profit, studies by the Defense Information Systems Agency and the Computer Emergency Response Team indicate that more than 97% of successful attacks are preventable.
