Star Trek Security

A term coined by Jason Muskat, a noted Computer Security Engineer, in 2007 for describing computer systems that exhibit high ease of use but have an extreme absence of security considerations. Such systems can be placed to the far right of the Security Triangle indicating the system is highly easy to use and functional. In popular culture one can see such systems demonstrated in the popular TV series Star Trek.

Popular OS Vendor: Sure it is Security Dude. It uses the Star Trek Security methodology.
