I just read and then re-read a rant by Steve King about how our attack resistance is not keeping up with attacker’s capabilities. It appears to be an emotion-rich rant, using illustrations of varying quality, but the high level argument is worth thinking about.
King maintains that our infrastructures & operations are evolving into larger & more complex attack surfaces while the threat landscape is populated by ever more capable hostile actors, and we appear to be less prepared and more exposed than we have ever been.
There may be lots of reasons to discount some of the content & structure of the essay, but for too many organizations the message seems like an important one.
What do you think?
