Security Is Fucked

Security is fucked. That's the truth.

It doesn’t matter what we do, how many "best" strategies we come up with, or even 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 we are and play by literally no rules. Or, put differently, we will lose because, well, we’re human and we generally suck at security: We make incredibly dumb decisions on repeat.

So... What to do... What to do...

Focus on the essentials: Risk mitigation; 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.
