From the better-late-than-sober dept.:

Bruce Schneier, Counterpane.  It was a motto of the old Counterpane
site, appears to have vanished from his current page.

One cite that's still live (damn:  linkrot's accelerated in the past few
months):

    http://www.nwfusion.com/newsletters/sec/2000/0911sec1.htm

    Schneier opens with his oft-quoted dictum, "Security is a process,
    not a product." (A corollary is "Security is a process, not a
    state.")

Cheers.
