One minor quibble

Jon, is your picture intended to annoy?

Sorry, I just had to phrase it that way... the way the photographer posed you seems amateurish, at ;east for a fine web site like yours.

Yes, it's minor in the big scheme of things.

very impressive article

I'm sure they paid you handsomely to pronounce to the world that TCG is the only possible solution to the problem.

What's a little privacy when we can make an IT admin's job a little easier!

You get MORE privacy

Please see relevant section of link. Here's a snippet:

"Ross [Anderson] is now in the position of having to take a last stand on trusted computing as it deploys in spite of his efforts. It's fascinating to watch him now say that it is bad because it gives *users* too much power to keep their data private."

thus the need for day-zero anomaly detection

Unfortunately there will always be holes in technology, so while we
need to focus on fixing them we also need to come to the
realization that until they are fixed we need to implement tools in
the network that look for day-zero attacks to stop them before
they do damage.

computer security

While the concept is good, as with any technology it can be broken by determined hackers. Software is only as good as the the design, implementation and testing that goes into it. Most companies do not do the required amount of testing that is needed before they ship a half baked product. I have worked as a systems engineer, Test and integration Engineer and Software Q.A.. The story is always the same, Get it out the door if the product works, Let the customer discover the bugs.. So much for a secure quality software product.
