A lot is said about security — fences, plugins, firewalls. But what does it all REALLY mean? Imagine you're a "Street Fighter" or "Mortal Kombat" character from those 80s video games, facing your particular fight against a bad guy. I'll explain how security relates to your life bar, which hits and defenses are more effective and which are less, plus my winning combo to survive.
