The unspoken truth of 'cybersecurity' (even the name is part of this pattern) is that bolt on complexity will always reduce safety. Computer security is not that hard. What is hard is selling complexity as a vector for vendor lock in and then bolting on security on top of that. Every new feature, every new line of code will introduce potential vulnerabilities. Every extra bit of complexity will make the systems more vulnerable overall. And the pattern is also followed by the 'cybersecurity' providers. The more complex they make the song and dance, the more dependent their costumers become long term. Normal Accidents opened up my eyes to this grift. I highly recommend the book.
