I liken computer security to building a wall, one of the
traditional elements in physical security. It might also
be like a box of chocolates, including the spring surprise.

Or it could be likened to the sound of one hand clapping.

I can't find any...
It's quite a paintfull to explain (to the boss or to the customers)
security issues without some visualisation and without consistent
conceptual model. If there isn't any, than I'll just have to build one ;) .

Thats where the wall model comes in, because the height can be
increased, barbed wire added, but if there is a door someone
has to hold the keys.
