The government really sucks at handling classified data, opined Marcus Ranum, CSO at Tenable Security. He said the seen over the past few years shows that agencies such as the Department of State need to improve data custodianship.

As the panelists veered into the topic of who would you trust less with your data, the U.S. government or Google, ICANN CSO Jeff Moss answered that he feared Google more than the feds. That got Ranum to quip: thats because Google has a history of getting things done.

And it so it went as the others on the panel -- Bruce Schneier, chief security technologist at BT; Adam Shostack, senior program manager at Microsofts Trustworthy Computing Group; and Jennifer Granick, director of civil liberties at the Stanford Law School Center for Internet and Society, who acted as moderator all got their digs in, too.

I dont trust sending my data across the border because the NSA is going to grab it, said Schneier ().
