Security- How do you know?

[rowdy_yates]

I voted:
- Number of reported vulnerabilities
- Product reputation
- Formal evaluation against a standard

And for Other:
- the bloody thing has to be near INVISIBLE!!!!

In my environment, we are in the business of providing services to our customers. We try very hard to not implement secuirity that will make their life difficult.

1. Zero votes for Scale of informal review.

**** I interpreted that one as Asking or reading comments on forums like AO from questions like "what is duh bust Fireworl?"

in my view various tests, using scientific proceedures, run by various testing groups is a bloody good starting point.. there are many organisations out there testing products were interested in.. the trick is to find the ones that are useing a relkiable testing methodology.

I like to use programs that no need to be installed it makes use of them much simple and setting easy to restore becouse most of thtem not using registry for it and if some happens you can fast recovery to same configuration just by copieng and runing software on other machine.
("As luck most of them are freeware<cuz no need to protect from unoff.use and also using often standards>")

Home usesers needs standards, it makes easy to connect and comunicate between PC's(this have also bad sides but...).

Companies need security ...
Security = "massive walls, difficult to undarstand, just chousen can use it"(often total control)
