Folks,
The difference here is that Firewalls is the wrong word. As anyone knows, who
reads this list, computer "firewalls" are non-standard, lack ASTM approval,
and lack the integrity of the real thing. What do you say about an industry
that misuses construction terms and military terms? You say it is in its
infancy. Maybe, someday, InfoSec will have its own terms � or, borrow
interesting terms from a sport, such as football or professional tennis. The
folks who labeled InfoSec with military terms played too many video arcade
games, IMHO.
By the way, contrary to some opinions, a P-38 is a German, W.W.II,
semi-automatic pistol. To claim it to be a "can opener" shows how easy it is
to steal and misuse nomenclature. Next we'll be calling DMZ's, free-fire
zones, or something as silly.
Blessings,
