The SafeSurf Modus™ (part II)
The Connection between Internet Security / Safety and Morality
Since 1995, we've been a heavily involved in the debate of how best to implement a system that will protect children, families and businesses online. After deep thought and research, we present this white paper to serve as design manifesto for both parents and entrepreneurs in growing their families and businesses.
We propose that human morality and IT security are two processes that model each other in many ways. A business' networking system can be thought of as the brain of a growing child. At first it is concerned with simple survival tasks of reliably moving data from one point to another. It is as a child learning to crawl and then speak simple words. It works well as long as its connection to the world is very selective and highly monitored. Parents usually limit a baby's contact to relatives and close friends. The first software security products limited access to only company approved sites and offered no outside access to files.
However, our goal is to raise a productive adult capable of interacting with the world or to produce a fully functional network, capable of sending and receiving sensitive information from anywhere in the world. This is where a well planned developmental process is crucial for ultimate success.
Waiting Too Long
Sadly, many parents and business just allow their children and systems to grow and only respond to issues after they arise. We assert that for a business to wait until after a networking system has been fully implemented to start thinking about building in security measures is akin to a parent waiting until their child graduates from high school to begin teaching them morality. Serious consequences await them both.
An otherwise normal young adult can find himself involved in a serious crime where he must spend thousands of dollars in legal fees and spend years in prison because he had an inadequate moral security system implemented to protect his thoughts from evil influences. Likewise, a company can be devastated when a hacker or software virus infiltrates it's casually installed security measures.
Steal, Kill and Destroy
We have come to the conclusion that the Internet goes beyond having no morality. It is filled with truly sinister spyware, malware, viruses, Trojan horses, worms, spammers, hackers, and evil people. These elements exist for no other purpose than to steal your data, kill your system, and utterly destroy your family or company. Unless a defensive system is implemented early and rigorously maintained in both the areas of human morality and software security it will be cracked with dire consequences.
It is not enough for a parent to install porn-filtering software. Parents need to communicate with their children about the dangers of allowing lust to drive one's actions. Then, parents need to monitor the actions of their children and provide follow-up guidance. As your child grows, new issues will arise and each new issue will require further guidance. The most powerful moral firewalls are built, one carefully placed brick at a time.
While most companies buy some sort of off-the-shelf security product, they neglect implementing adequate Internet policies and employee training. As the result, they become infected with viruses and spyware programs, as if they had no protection software at all.
The Hacker is Coming
Every networked company must prepare for the hacker, whose goal is breaking into well-designed security systems. They know their target almost intimately and have prepared a detailed battle plan. They search for the slightest weakness and then exploit it. Any administrator who underestimates the ingenuity of a hacker has consequently invited him in.
Likewise, any parent that thinks that his child will not encounter an immoral friend with influence, or a pedophile with well-developed methods of seduction, is unknowingly opening their front door to this scourge. Talk with and listen to your child, often, about their online contacts and friends.
The Solution
There is no easy solution, but there is a hard solution. Vigilance! Constant vigilance!
If you have a networked business handling sensitive data without a security expert, get one, now!
Most importantly, don't just depend on software to protect your children. Frequently sit down with your child to teach and discuss with them how to prepare and resist the dangers of life and the Internet.
The Internet can be an incredible tool for enlightment. However, whenever there is light, darkness will attempt to corrupt it. This is a universal truth. But, have no fear and be diligent, because it is also true that light will overcome the darkness.

Alice sat down again by the fire, and picked up a piece of buttered bun with a semicircular bite out of it which had fallen on the carpet. He must have been in the middle of that mastication when the fiasco began.... Yet, he could not have been, for he had begun to smoke. Perhaps he took another bun after he had finished his cigarette.... She considered this with a detached curiosity; it seemed to occupy all her mind. Then the boy covered with buttons came in to remove the tea-tray, and she noticed he had a piece of sticking plaster in the middle of his forehead. That was interesting too and curious.... And then she had a firm, an absolute conviction that Mr Silverdale had not gone away, that he was waiting in the hall, unable to tear himself from{213} her, and yet forbidden by his pride to come back. He had only left the room a couple of minutes; and surely she would find him seated in one of the Gothic chairs in the hall, with his hand over his face. She must go to him; their eyes would meet, and somehow or other the awful misunderstanding and estrangement in which they had parted would melt away. He would say, ¡®Life is too strong for me; farewell the celibacy of the clergy,¡¯ or something like that: or he would hold her hand for a long, a very long time, and perhaps whisper, ¡®Then blessings on the fallings out,¡¯ or ¡®Whatever happens, nothing must interrupt our friendship.¡¯ Perhaps the farewell to the celibacy of the clergy was an exaggerated optimism, but she would be so content, so happy with much less than that (provided always that he did not say his farewell to celibacy with Julia Fyson). She would be enraptured to continue on the old terms, now that she understood what he meant and what he did not mean. And perhaps she had spoiled it all, so that he would never again hold her hand or whisper to her, or kiss her with that sort of tender and fraternal affection as once in the vestry when she had made her guileless confession to him. It was a brother-kiss, a priest-kiss, coming almost from realms above, and now she had thrown that in his teeth. She had altogether failed to understand him, him and his friendship, his comradeship (and his pawings). In the{214} fading of her anger she longed for all that which she had thought meant so much, but which she prized now for its own sake. Surely she would find him still lingering in the hall, sorrowful and unhappy and misunderstood, but not reproachful, for he was too sublime for that. He had said he was infinitely grieved several times, and he would be great enough to forgive her. Perhaps he would be too deeply hurt to make any of those appropriate little speeches she had devised for him, and if so, the reconciliation for which already she yearned, the re-establishment of their relations on the old maudlin lines, must come from her initiative. Already with that curious passion some women have for being beaten and ill-treated, she longed to humble herself, to entreat his forgiveness. "The rebellion," he continued, "is known in history as the Tae-ping[Pg 340] insurrection. The words 'tae ping' mean 'general peace,' and were inscribed on the banners of the rebels. The avowed intention of the leader of the revolt was to overthrow the imperial power, and deliver the country from its oppressors. There were promises of a division of property, or, at all events, the rebels were to have free license to plunder wherever they went; and as there are always a great many people who have everything to gain and nothing to lose, the rebellion gathered strength as time went on. The leaders managed to convince the foreigners that they were inclined to look favorably on Christianity, and the idea went abroad that the Tae-pings were a sort of Chinese Protestants, who wanted to do away with old abuses, and were in favor of progress and of more intimate relations with foreign nations. Many of the missionaries in China were friendly to the rebellion, and so were some of the merchants and others established there. Her eyes flashed round upon me like stars themselves. "Not--Venus?" she whispered, snatched in her breath, bit her lip, and half averting her face, shot me through with both "twinklers" at once. Then she took a long look at the planets and suddenly exclaimed with a scandalized air-- It is interesting to observe how, here also, the positive science of the age had a large share in determining its philosophic character. Founded on the discovery of the earth¡¯s true shape, Aristotle¡¯s metaphysics had been overthrown by the discovery of the earth¡¯s motion. And now the claims of Cartesianism to have furnished an exact knowledge of matter and a definition of it whence all the facts of observation could be deduced ¨¤ priori, were summarily refuted by the discovery421 of universal gravitation. The Cartesians complained that Newton was bringing back the occult qualities of the Schoolmen; but the tendency of bodies to move towards one another proved as certain as it was inexplicably mysterious. For a time, the study of causes was superseded by the study of laws; and the new method of physical science moved in perfect harmony with the phenomenism of Locke. One most important consequence of this revolution was to place the new Critical philosophy on a footing quite different from that occupied by the ancient sceptics. Both restricted certain knowledge to our own states of consciousness; but it now appeared that this might be done without impeaching the value of accepted scientific conclusions, which was more than the Academic philosophy would have admitted. In other words, granting that we were limited to phenomena, it was shown that science consisted in ascertaining the relations of these phenomena to one another, instead of to a problematic reality lying behind them; while, that such relations existed and were, in fact, part of the phenomena themselves, was what no sceptic could easily deny. ¡°Now we¡¯ll shelve this mystery.¡± Mr. Everdail led the way to the tender which would transfer them to the yacht for the evening run around illuminated Manhattan. ¡°Eat, and have a good time, Sky Patrol.¡± He was in a manner forgetting Felipa. He had forced himself to try to do so. But once in a way he remembered her vividly, so that the blood would burn in his heart and head, and he would start up and beat off the[Pg 267] thought, as if it were a visible thing. It was happening less and less often, however. For two years he had not seen her and had heard of her directly only once. An officer who came into the Agency had been with her, but having no reason to suppose that a scout could be interested in the details of the private life of an officer's wife, he had merely said that she had been very ill, but was better now. He had not seen fit to add that it was said in the garrison¡ªwhich observed all things with a microscopic eye¡ªthat she was very unhappy with Landor, and that the sympathy was not all with her. Completely disheartened by this result, Wolfe for a moment felt despair of his object, and in that despairing mood, on the 9th of September, he wrote to Pitt. He said that, "to the uncommon strength of the country, the enemy had added, for the defence of the river, a great number of floating batteries and boats; that the vigilance of the Indians had prevented their effecting anything by surprise; that he had had a choice of difficulties, and felt at a loss how to proceed; and he concluded with the remark, that his constitution was entirely ruined, without the consolation of having done any considerable service to the State, or without any prospect of it." "I'm goin' down there," he said, after a moment's deliberation. "Providence has sent me on this job, and intends I shall do it right, which I kin by goin' down there. Providence'll take care o' me while I'm goin'. Same time, Providence expects me to show gumption, by not exposin' myself any more'n possible." An instant later the two companies rushed across the field, making a bewildering transformation in the rebels' minds from charging to being charged. The rebels were caught before they could complete their formation. There was a brief tumult of rushes and shots and yells, and they were pushed back through the woods, with some losses In killed and wounded and stampeded horses. "I don't imagine that his 'thinkery,' as you call it, was of much account when it was in order, if it was no better than this other man's," said the Colonel, with a smile. "Perhaps, if he could think better he wouldn't be in the rebel army. Sergeant (to the Provost-Sergeant), take charge of these two men. Give them something to eat, and send them to Division Headquarters." Braiv man "Stop that," shouted Reuben¡ª"he ?un't to stay here." The news of Islip's dismissal confounded the messenger. This new pursuivant might be in the interest of William of Wykeham, and it would be ill policy to make an enemy where every good office might be wanting to preserve him his situation. At all events, there was little use in contending: he accordingly unlocked his bag, and Calverley, with a thrill of pleasure, felt the writ within his grasp. "Lady," said Ball, who, in a low voice, had exchanged a few words with Wells, "here thou art no longer safe. Conduct this lady, my friend, to the abbey of Westminster," addressing Wells, "and encounter not those who might, unchecked by me, commit further outrage. Take a boat from the water-side¡ªthat way is yet open. Farewell, lady, I must hence;¡ªfor even Simon Sudbury, who made John Ball what he is now, may be in peril, and it is for the Lord alone to smite.¡ªI seek not the brand to right me!" HoMEÓÒÏßÃâ·ÑÒ»¼¶
