In this short episode, we are back discussing the Security Design Principles, with the third principle, Economy of Mechanism.
Jason and Kip explain the principle of Economy of Mechanism and how you want to apply it in your career as a cybersecurity professional without falling into the trap of overcomplicating things and most importantly, staying within the limits of your budget.
You should always keep things simple and practical and focus on providing value instead of following tedious complex processes.
Economy of Mechanism can be simplified in the following, “You don’t want to build a $100,000 fence to protect a $1000 horse”. Context is everything here, you need to understand what you are protecting and how your protections should be relevant to that.
