A Patch in Time Saves Nine: Liability Risks for Unpatched Software, 7.11.03

Steptoe & Johnson: "The old saw that 'a stitch in time saves nine' also applies to computer security. No computer software is perfectly secure, but much of the damage from Internet virus and worm attacks can be prevented by promptly installing software security patches. But even in corporate environments, compliance with patch recommendations can be, well, patchy. And as the public grows less tolerant of Internet insecurity, there is increasing reason to fear that a failure to patch will become the basis for lawsuits and regulatory penalties. The attached paper prepared by Stewart Baker and Maury Shenk provides a more detailed analysis of this issue."

"We shall need compromises in the days ahead, to be sure. But these will be, or should be, compromises of issues, not principles. We can compromise our political positions, but not ourselves. We can resolve the clash of interests without conceding our ideals. And even the necessity for the right kind of compromise does not eliminate the need for those idealists and reformers who keep our compromises moving ahead, who prevent all political situations from meeting the description supplied by Shaw: "smirched with compromise, rotted with opportunism, mildewed by expedience, stretched out of shape with wirepulling and putrefied with permeation.
Compromise need not mean cowardice. .."

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, "Profiles in Courage"
