This week we decided to list out some of our favourite cyber security quotes. Some may well ‘blow your mind’, whilst others may merely brighten up your day. Whatever the end result, if nothing else we hope you’ll think about security in a slightly different way!
Controversial quotes
Bruce Schneier: “Data is the pollution problem of the information age, and protecting privacy is the environmental challenge.”
Bruce Schneier: “If you think technology can solve your security problems, then you don’t understand the problems and you don’t understand the technology.”

Ted Schlein: “There are only two different types of companies in the world: those that have been breached and know it and those that have been breached and don’t know it.”
Abhijit Naskar: “The only way to maintain privacy on the internet is to not be on the internet.”
Funny quotes
