The Why Questions | The Z Blog:
I’ve had some exposure to corporate security and one of the things I’ve noticed is that much of it is based on what I think of as the “why questions.”
The protection of things like data is based on thinking about why someone would want the data.
The more obvious the answer the more obvious the reason to guard the data.
Banks put money in vaults because it is obvious why people would steal it.
On the other hand, the great capers are often based on going against the grain of the why questions. For example, why would anyone break into the office of a psychiatrist?
There’s no obvious answer so in most cases the offices are not secure.
Dr. Lewis Fielding’s office was burgled in 1971, because one of his patients was Daniel Ellsberg, a notorious enemy of the people, who was in league with lunatics trying to bring down the government.
This caper from Wall Street is another good example of how “why” questions control how people guard information.
You can be sure there was not a lot of people wondering why hackers would steal press releases, but now we know why and you can be sure the security of such things will be much higher.
The other value of focusing on why questions, one useful for reading the news, is to see who in the press is asking or even thinking about the why questions in a story.
The proof that our press is mostly a public relations department is that they never ask the people in charge a why question.
They don’t want to know why.The Hillary e-mail story is a great example of what I’m getting at with the why questions.
The only question to be asked of Hillary and her flaks is “Why did she create a secret, off-the-books, email server?”
The facts show there was a rush to create this thing in time for her to start at the State Department.
That was not a random act.
There’s a reason and knowing the reason is pretty much the entire story.
Now, normal people familiar with the Imperial Capital think they know the answer.
She wanted to avoid FOIA requests and Congressional oversight.
This has become so common in DC with the bureaucracy that it is fair to call it normal.
When the people in the Borg are plotting malice or mischief, they do it through private chat, e-mail and even Facebook.
Big fish do it strictly to avoid Congress, which is a violation of law by itself..."
Fact Check: Top 10 Lies in Obama's State of the Union - Breitbart:
The executive has dazzled his followers into believing that
everything he says is true. If anything,
we should have learned that every statement he makes should be considered
highly suspicious and questionable. Unfortunately,
he is rarely questioned. If he were, he
would have been exposed for the charlatan he is, a long time ago. The press has only helped with the deception
by not pressing him for the truth.
Instead, the executive enjoys cream puff questions with no substance. Unchallenged statements become facts much
like false statements become truth simply because they are continuously
repeated.
The protection of things like data is based on thinking about why someone would want the data.
