When it comes to security, a paradigm shift is necessary for the best cyber defense… Attackers have changed the rules of cyber security, and cyber defense and incident response is NOT what it used to be five years ago. Security must be done differently, and defenders need to address this reality. And this post is semi-philosophical when it uses the phrase “Less is MORE.”
The phrase “less is more” comes from a poem by Robert Browning called “Andrea del Santo.” It was written in 1855 as part of a set of poems. The German-American architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s words and work made the phrase more well-known, and as most people have come to use it today…
Rohe’s tried to make architecture design and ideas as simple as possible by using clean lines, putting an emphasis on geometry, and leaving a lot of white, empty space. People think of Mies van der Rohe as one of the people who started the modern minimalist style in architecture. The modern meaning of “less is more” is closely linked to anti-materialism as in “minimalism”, which emphasize surrounding yourself with the things you love, embrace the experiences that provide a lot of value and getting rid of the rest.
