Actually, I DO think the financial sector is starting to take it more seriously than ever, but I think it shows just how complex the problem space is.<BR/><BR/>It goes beyond hardening even the subsystems that you mentioned (processors, database, web/application servers, etc.). That's necessary but not sufficient (as RT Writer would say). The organization has to 'plan for failure' in establishing operational processes/procedures as well. That means taking the time to draft the procedures, but it also means doing 'just enough' testing of those to validate them.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the costs of that are hard to quantify. The value proposition of the enterprise class systems (NonStop one of the leading contenders there) is that at least you can remove the hardware/OS/database from your list of worries!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
