The entire system is about abstracting away liability, not keeping things secure. Every framework is like this. The fact that companies are paying auditors to review their own work creates a completely upside down incentive model, and tur

It's incentivized top-to-bottom. Every audit is structured around checking boxes, absolutely zero interest in actual security. Just state you have processes, that they meet the loosely written (or in some cases bizarrely specific) spec

That's fair, but it's not really the fault of MITRE / the CVE database, it's the fact that people have been incentivized to submit these. Similar conversations have come up around how NPM handles vulnerability reports, s

The worst part of these major vulnerabilities is the endless follow-on stream of knee-jerk 'CVE' that are clearly nothing-burgers, and yet will be described as a 'new Log4j' vulnerability, and cause a bunch of people who

This wasn't intended as a gotcha, or anything, I was just honestly curious what informed your experience. I lived in Tampa for ~10 years, and found it to be a pretty decent city in general, though with the usual southern caveats of pub
