RSA Chief: Last Year's Breach Has Silver Lining 49

alphadogg writes "Last year's industry-shaking RSA Security breach has resulted in customers' CEOs and CIOs engaging much more closely with the vendor to improve their organizations' security, according to the head of RSA. Discussing the details of the attack that compromised its SecurID tokens has made RSA sought after by companies that want to prevent something similar from happening to them, Executive Chairman Art Coviello said in an interview with Network World. 'If there's a silver lining to the cloud that was over us from April through over the summer it is the fact that we've been engaged with customers at a strategic level as never before,' Coviello says, 'and they want to know in detail what happened to us, how we responded, what tools we used, what was effective and what was not.'"

  • And since the fire department burned to the ground, more home owners are contacting the fire department to help with their home fire defense.

    What the? Does that make any sense to anyone?

    ... Coviello says, 'and they want to know in detail what happened to us, how we responded, what tools we used,

    Ah, that makes sense now.

    Not "dude, u r teh awesome!!! How can I get some of that awesome for myself?"

    More like "dude, where were your fire extinguishers? Smoke detectors? What model were they? Did they give ANY alarm? HOW THE HELL DID YOU LET YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT BURN DOWN? And is there any way to tell if I am in danger?"

    'If there's a silver lining to the cloud that was over us from April through over the summer it is the fact that we've been getting phone-raped by customers... as never before,' Coviello says, 'and they want to know in detail what the fuck happened, how we fucked up so badly, how the fuck we're going to fix it, and why the fuck they should still be our 'customers'."
