It's people. I lose my patience with vendors trying to sell you the latest thing to stop problem X. Security by bandaid and duct tape just doesn't cut it.

I find the ISO definition of threat to be way too broad. I'd rather narrow it to things that can act on their own. That way, risk analysis is much easier and makes me more effective. I’m with you.
