Hear, hear! No one firewall, no one IDS, and no "one" of anything other
>component< is the answer. But I'd even take your conclusion a step
further, and say not only is it good people that want to continue to learn,
but good people that want to continue to teach. You can build a wonderful
system with IDS's, firewalls, screening routers, DMZs, authentication
tokens and the like, and none of it will help if you don't include the
social engineering component. All of the equipment and the skilled system
administrators won't help if the receptionist believes that the guy on the
phone really is testing something on the database server and they need her
password...
