This is an interesting concept. One of which I have been trying to explain to people for years. The flaws lie not in lack of tools but in the design of the products we seek to secure.

Our own IS department constantly codes with no security in mind. I have to develop and build the safeguards around the app rather than have a safe app/service.

My question is: How is this type of technology/methodology apply to financial institutions and laws such as Sarbanes Oxley and GLB? This won't fly with them based on how the laws are currently in place.
