This is not correct. If you purchase a 747, can you fly it? No, you
must learn to fly. The biggest problem with security is mis-configured
security. You can install all the security apps you want, but if you
don't properly configure them, they are useless.

Együd Csaba should pursue is security concerns on a security list, not a
database list.
