Sure: no silver bullets
Talkback Point solutions do this. Simple rules can drive complex behavior and solutions come from iteration and experience. Citadels have always had strength in depth from the moat to the keep, unlike HMRC (or firewalls) which neglected basic data security...

Outrage at Symantec's OS X claims
Talkback There has been linkage (in the security industry) for some time, between those who are writing various types of exploits and the companies (which I won't name) who supply the solutions. I know for certain that several "solutions" could NOT have...

Why data encryption is no substitute for comprehensive security
Talkback Really, I've seen guys, more then once, claiming that they could prevent others from printing, copying, editing and doing what not with documents 'protected' by their security solutions. Think about that before investing into solutions that claim...

Rupert Goodwins' Diary
Blog But security companies — Symantec isn't, ahem, alone in this — make their money by presenting solutions in isolation. But if I was trying to grow a company, perhaps I wouldn't be too thrilled by coming up with solutions that were able to look after...

The game's up for Windows 2000

Encryption isn't enough
Talkback One simple way to circumvent such "solutions" is to make data cross platforms (since data should be universal; unless one wishes to enforce their solution on all of their customers and clients as well).
