Comments inline. -- Mladen Gogala Ext. 121 _____ From: Niall Litchfield [mailto:niall.litchfield@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 3:57 PM To: stellr@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: oracle-l Subject: Re: Oracle Security Blasted I really had better caveat this by saying that although I live in the UK and have a similar name, I have no connection to David Litchfield (at least none I am aware of - it seems likely that we are at least distantly related). [Mladen Gogala] The comments from David Litcfield are very valid, if somewhat humorous. The one that I have in mind is: "Push your vendor to tell you how they build their software and ask them if they train people on secure coding practices. " With aforementioned outsourcing to Elbonia (a swampy country populated by small, bearded men wearing coned hats, resembling recent pictures from New Orleans) such a comment is a joke. What do you think they outsourced for? They outsourced to save money. They are not going to train them, that would cut into the bottom line.
