Summary:

With the emergence of yet another widespread vulnerability, I’ve been spending some time reflecting on the ever evolving threat landscape that has prevailed over my career. I’ve come to the realization and opinion that we, as a group of professionals, have gotten distracted and as a consequence have focused on symptomatic issues.

Essentially we have chosen to hike down a wilderness trail that constantly bring us into contact with all manner of dangers rather than a trail that seeks to avoid these dangers as much as possible.
