IME the main problem is that, with rare exceptions, building secure products is seen as a distraction that is best pawned off to the cybersecurity team. And that cybersecurity team is more often than not fairly light on actual product development engineering talent. So they do what they can, which is mostly buy yet another tool from the thousands of vendors hawking The Answer, the final service you need to buy and then you'll be secure.
Which to anyone who has built secure products, should obviously sound like nonsense. Because it is nonsense. Most of these tools are mildly useful (some useless) but not that great. They're certainly not The Answer.
To build secure products you need to actually make it a tier one requirement and design it in from day one. It's as simple, and as difficult, as that.
