Re: firewall-wizards Digest, Vol 64, Issue 3 phishing

Cloud is simply the current incarnation of server (LAN/farm, data
center, virtualization...). I really don't see that the security
issues have changed all that much (evolved maybe), or approaches to
solving them.

Look at us. We are in the "Lather, rinse, repeat" business. I recently
quoted firewall-wizards threads from 2007 on DDoS in an article. We
were discussing a 2000 SANS report encouraging egress address
filtering.

Still comes down to willingness to spend, will to execute. Too little of both.
