Security Is Fucked

Security is fucked. That's the truth.

It doesn’t matter what we do, how many "genius" strategies we come up with, or if we have unlimited resources at our disposal... We’re fucked. The bad guys will win because, let’s face it, they’re way better at this than us and play by literally no rules. Or, we’ll lose because, well, we’re human, and apparently, sucking at security is our thing. We make incredibly dumb decisions on repeat.

So... What to do...

Focus on the essentials: Risk mitigation, especially the low probability and high consequence risks; have a plan for incidents and how to respond to them; keep data and identities safe.

Essentially, the basics.

The rest... Well, the rest is one vulnerability at a time.
