During one of my discussions with Kannan (One of the most respected and knowledgeable folks at McAfee), a year or so ago, he provided a valuable insight on how to look at solving a given problem or even as far as visualizing it.
He was of opinion that we can model any given problem to a real world problem with real world entities or objects. Once we draw a suitable analogy, we can look into how we as a human society solved the problem and we can leverage on similar methodology is solving the issue in the digital world.
Even if solution to the problem is not available in real world or is needed to be improved upon or thought about with a new perspective, it is easier to think when we are dealing with real world entities. It will help us in contemplating certain aspects of problem analysis which would have been rather difficult to think in terms of binary digits!
I am truly inspired by this thought and would be looking forward to use this during course of my research on cloud security. Like drawing analogies to building a new city or new residential / commercial layout. The answer should definitely lie in the design! Well, we will soon find out :)
Thanks Kannan for inception of this way of thought. :-)
