Most "Secure" Security

I was just curious what is considered through your experience the most secure security program that you've heard of or ran across? Be it commercial or otherwise.

The most secure security program? ... Wut?

Most secure anything is when you rip your modem from the wall. No Interwebz = 100% secure. (Unless they ninja into your house and physically hack it, but that's most likely not going to happen.)
Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning. -Rick Cook

Plus you really have to quantify "security program". What are we securing? A personal PC. A Network. A Server. And what are we securing it from? Hackers. Virus. Internal threats (renegade or angry employees). Disaster (power failure, floods, general data corruption).

In any case there is no magic bullet. Every piece of software and hardware device need to be integrated together in such a way that they create the best blanket of coverage. Threats to security can come from the most innocuous of places. (+3 points for using innocuous in a sentence).

The best security in my opinion is when someone monitors their networks 24/7, but for the average user that's not really possible.

Anything that can't run an .exe file is probably the safest. Just saying...
No expert, just saying...
