Security is relative
The pursuit of absolute, unbreachable security is a fool’s errand. In a world where attackers relentlessly refine their techniques, new technologies expose unforeseen vulnerabilities, and the sheer complexity of modern systems outpaces our ability to fully test them, perfection is unattainable. To assume your software is impervious is to invite disaster.
Attackers are evolving at an alarming pace. Sophisticated AI tools automate the discovery of vulnerabilities [1], tirelessly probing for the tiniest cracks in your defenses. Each zero-day exploit discovered and each credential leaked gives them an edge. We are in an escalating arms race, and complacency is not an option.
The key to survival isn’t clinging to the latest technology at your defense. It lies in understanding that failure at some level is inevitable. True resilience comes from designing systems with the expectation that individual components will be compromised.
