Here's my belief about the Cyber Security industry.
It shouldn't need to exist. It is not ordained from the heavens that computers are unwieldy and insecure by default or the measures taken to secure them so burdensome.
But they are. That is the world in which we live and things that need to be done should be done well and have the most good achieved for the most people.
The hyper-fixation on "F500" companies due to their immense resources is a scourge. It is natural outcome, but it is not natural by need. Everybody else needs cyber security more. It is existential for them. Bills due on the month their office cannot work. This is so often reduced to a comfort when it comes to the privileged. A credit line on being good for it because they have assets to weather the storm and an impossibility of punishment scaled to their failure.
