Obscurity is Not Security
Explore why obscurity alone does not provide security and why well-designed systems matter more. Understand how hiding or disguising information can support but not replace strong security practices. Learn the importance of public encryption standards, techniques like air-gapping, and ongoing evaluations through penetration testing and red team assessments to enhance security posture.

Use proven security measures
The design itself is what provides the security, not the secrecy of the design. Publicly accepted encryption standards are an excellent example of open design. The details of these encryption algorithms are publicly available. Despite this, several publicly disclosed algorithms can provide excellent security when implemented correctly.
