>On a planet with seven and a half billion people becoming more connected and tech-savy everyday, security by intimidation simply isn't a viable solution, or a meaningful component of a larger solution.
It absolutely is and must be a viable component. Those increasingly connected people are also increasingly vulnerable in real-world ways that go well beyond tech. And, it is near impossible to completely secure networks/systems with their near limitless attack surfaces.
Treating it as a game of cat and mouse in which you know the mouse will invariably lose with some regularity, then consigning yourself to ever playing the mouse is disastrous policy.
