I know. His point being that our defense sucks. My point being that everyone's defense sucks because the technology currently in play makes it so. It's not that castle builders sucked after the invention of the mortar, it's that castles were fundamentally reduced in capability by new technology.
FWIW there's a LOT of good tech available that helps secure networks and locks down traffic and plugs vulnerabilities (DISA creates guides for this, called
Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) that helps immensely in preventing the hardware / software vulnerabilities' being exploited.
The trouble absolutely occurs where program-focused managers are blind to the realities of security, and see IT as nothing more than an unnecessary cost to their program, and one they resent having to fund to boot.
With that sort of attitude is it really surprising that the soft targets are increasingly proving to be people, more so than the equipment?
