With that said, I think this is overall a step in the right direction. Security is in many places still a secondary concern, so regulation is in my opinion needed to improve the status quo
- MrBuddyCasino 4y agoWe got vastly better at security over the last three decades. Windows SMB shares completely open to the internet, networked code written in C without sanitisers, widely exploitable bugs in OSes - none of this is a regular occurrence anymore. There is no need to have bureaucrats get involved and line the pockets of "auditors" with ultimately useless checkbox exercises. We've seen all of this before, it never turns out as planned.

Today these kinds of attacks against critical infrastructure are regular occurrences This has become a very real safety risk for citizens and needs to be addressed
- MrBuddyCasino 4y agoThere are already regulations for important infrastructure such as powerplants, or safety criteria machinery such as planes and medical devices. We don’t need this kind of red tape in e-commerce startups.
