Applying Trust Analysis to Dropbox

While I’m talking about ISECOM and its founder Pete Herzog, here’s a recent notice he sent out about Trust Analysis, and an article using trust metrics to determine just how safe it is to trust Dropbox, the popular file-sharing service:

Enno does an excellent job with the article and he’s just scratching the surface of what you can do with the trust metrics in business and risk.

Sincerely,

Trust Analysis is a very different take on how to practice security, one that promises to provide a much more valid way to assess and implement security. Every security practitioner should take a good, close look at this idea.
