For pretty much any make and model car, the site can
give you:
-a range of prices to expect for a repair,
-repair shops nearby to you to complete the repair,
-the type of questions you should be asking about the
repair so you know it's done right,
-the ability to rate your quality of service from the
shop (a la Yelp, another amazingly useful
site IMO),
-and the ability to track your car's service and repair
needs on-line.
So how do I hook this back to Application Data
Security?
Well, maybe it's a reach, but wouldn't it be great to be
able to get this kind of context for security performance and security metrics?
I think comparisons to other organizations, rating vendors, service provides,
average time to fix, etc. would be very useful to give us an idea of how we're
doing on a variety of fronts. It also begs the question - is car repair that
much easier than information security or does IT security need to
mature?
