Near future tech and CoH

I understand. I just cringed inwardly at the "leveraging economies of scale for security".

Every person I've ever known who has spouted something like that was either selling something or had bought, whole-hog, into one of these "solutions" that everyone and their brother seems to want to sell.

It's a failure to comprehend that "security" isn't a product. Thus, leveraging an economy of whatever scale isn't going to deliver you "security". It'll get you services at a better price, but security is still a process, not product.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

I'd content it's more of a failure believing that more money and faces results in a better service. There is some merit to multiple solutions in play, especially some good merit to having multiple third party security certifications in play. However, it's a false dichotomy to believe that the cloud computing services are only applying a single form of security.

While very true that you still have to deal with the weakest link no matter what information security methods you undertake, at least you limit the amount of valuable information a given terminal will have on it [reducing the risk factor from the 'lost laptop'].
