Abstract
Perfection in large software systems is improbable; therefore, it is prudent to enhance security by anticipating failures and preparing for contingencies. We propose an analogy with medicine, supporting curative as well as preventive action. Information technology (IT) security needs to allocate resources to contingency resolution mechanisms that can be used to complement prevention mechanisms
