The Centralized or Autonomous Security System

I couldn't figure or a better headline but then whatever.

Foreign Policy has placed an interesting article on its website. Though the entire article is from an American security perspective but then there are lessons for everyone to pick up.

In the light of 'Stuxnet' affair and the hacking of different US government website shows that it is possible to hack absolutely anything.

Online or systems which are not online. Either way you can be hacked but the best way to increase security is to de-centralize the electronic security system and make sure to keep it off-internet. If Osama Bin-Laden can do it so can everyone. This does not mean you are cent per-cent secured but it improves the chances to remaining secure for longer period. There will be an argument for centralized and online security system as it will result in higher efficiency. Then in that guess its better to see what the worst case scenario will be like if there is a breach of security

Rest you will figure it out once you read the article, right now I am too lazy to summarize it, and I dont doubt the intelligence of the readers.
