Ok, so they chat to the C-suite about what to do. The result will probably be "saying our security is flawed will make us look weak and undermine our marketing, just leave it". Then VP will either leave, because they have integrity; or stay and tell themselves they tried whilst enjoying their large financial compensation. Result, nothing changes. Market forces just don't seem to work on these things. I don't know what the answer is but putting the fate of millions of customers in the hands of one person's conscience, because of a knowledge imbalance, just doesn't seem right. I can imagine a technocracy having a licensing scheme for suppliers, where Cisco would be told, this is substandard we'll pull your license. But, that sorry if structure just seems like it would fail to corruption so easily. How do we improve standards over small, but impactful, parts of life that most politicians wouldn't understand; things that the market doesn't begin to address? Like the fable of the Dog and the Wolf, do we need to forgo some liberty to acquire the comfort of progress?
