Fear, Fatigue, and Absolution drive our security landscape today. Security professionals drive budgets and behavior through an archaic management practice. Tools and tactics won’t fix a cultural problem. Cultures need to change.
The fear of attack is valid.
There is no end to this asymmetrical warfare. From state actors to bedroom hackers, everyone is under attack. Tools created, used, and abused by anyone who has the time and resources or time to kill. The world of vendor control was broken by opensource. Opensource lowered the cost of doing business. The black market embraced opensource with open arms creating a new arms race. All this while companies march in straight lines with one arm tied behind their backs in the name of stability and release schedules.
Attacks don’t stop at a lobby; they persist in our bedrooms. Technology gives the world another dimension. The information helps us grow, provide safety for our children, react in a disaster, resolve a crisis, or provide us with peace of mind while taking a stroll in a park at night — a fundamental change from work-life balance to balanced working life. The universe is in our pocket, spreading our lives across the globe.
Fatigue takes no vacation
