So I get that things were easier before all networks needed to be treated as zero trust. But should we really return to that? Just adding another layer of network abstraction with another malted milk-ball network security configuration? (gooey and unprotected on the inside) Part of me thinks this is like when cars were super simple to work on and you had plenty of "shadetree" mechanics. As vehicle safety systems and emissions controls increased we built safer and cleaner vehicles. They are harder to work on at first because you have to learn the concepts of more systems. Brake systems evolved to ABS controllers then further on to Traction/Stability Controllers. Understanding one system makes it easier to understand the others. I guess I am saying improvement does make things more complex. The most basic engine is loud, pollutes but works just fine. That does not mean it better- it was fun to toy with but a tuned well engineered machine is just as much fun if you can learn to tinker with it and play. There will always be someone who will tell you your fuel injected, closed loop, oxygen and maf sensor controlled combustion cycle is less fun than an ol' fashion v8 with a carb. I actually enjoy the paranoid world where we are building inherent security into every layer of computing. I learn something new every day and get to make something better.
