Protecting Against Failure • Backups – multiple generations • Surge Protector – power surges • UPS – uninterrupted power supply • Mirroring data / RAID
People are Risky • don’t see themselves as a risk. • work around security.
Reliability • when we rely on computers, and something goes wrong, the impact can be significant : • Therac 25 • Y2K – $100 billion • cannot find all of the bugs • they harder bugs are to find, the worse they are may be. • increased complexity compounds the problem.
Security vs. Privacy • balancing. • examples : • e-mail at work • cell phone with GPS • active badge
