- Two security postures: hide in the hills by yourself or huddle inside the main fortress.
- In the hills, you hope no one will bother looking for you.
- When they do, the fixed cost of an attack, which is significant when not amortized across many users, will hopefully deter them.
- But on the flipside, your defenses will be less battle-tested and easier to penetrate.
- In the fortress, you hope that the strength of the fortress will attack you.
- Every attacker bombards it, but that also means the fortress is battle-tested.
- But if the fortress is breached, it's chaos.
- Now, with Mythos, there's an insanely powerful new siege weapon.
- The top-tier fortresses got access to red-team themselves… but the second tier fortresses will be dangerously exposed.
- Software monocultures create a combustible situation when new weapons can emerge.
- The risks correlate.
