Its the same issue since Grog tried to hide the first rock from Og:
The “Paranoids,” the internal name for Yahoo’s security team, often clashed with other parts of the business over security costs. And their requests were often overridden because of concerns that the inconvenience of added protection would make people stop using the company’s products.
Infosec is never easy, and part of making things secure is that you give up conveniences for peace of mind. It's 2016 and I'm still a but surprised that people willingly open themselves and their data to hackers in lieu of stock holders and customer retention. It's unreal when you stop and think about it.
- CaptainZapp 10y agoIt's the same problem compliance departments at financial institutions face. Compliance, by definition is bad for business. They will, after all, try to crack down on doing business with criminals, shady oligarchs or - dodgy dictators, which can be highly profitable. In the end, though, the best working banks are those where compliance has real teeth.
