A decade ago, in 2001, at DefCon 9. PointSecure had a whitepaper on that
available on their website but it had disappeared quite some years ago.

| "Virtually Unhackable" DEFCON9:
| Securing OpenVMS with System Detective
| by John Robert Wisniewski

"System Detective" is (still) a product of PointSecure:
<http://www.pointsecure.com/products/sys_det.aspx>

Checking once more, the whitepaper is available again:
