“Beale’s approach to Linux security is not the solid-wall
nothing-gets-past approach the Bastille name seems to suggest.
Instead, he believes in educating users to make the correct choices
about the features running on their Linux machine.”
“Users of Bastille will certainly recognize this approach, since
the initial setup for the product steps the user through a series
of questions about what they do and don’t want running on their
machine.”
“Education, in Beale’s opinion, is certainly one of the best
defenses any IT worker can have. He was excited to announce that
one of MandrakeSoft’s first initiatives with its latest corporate
acquisition Coursemetrics will be to build a new security-oriented
training program.”
