    Obviously, ignoring security is pervasive, well-established, S.O.P.

    Incompetence wins, because it is “normal”?

    I read only a sample of this book https://www.manning.com/books/secure-by-design and its whole fundamental understanding is that our world has been using the wrong framing of security, all along.

    It isn’t paint you put on finished-work, for nice highlights ( my metaphor, not theirs, I’m just trying to communicate the idea of what we’ve been doing )

    Rather, it is a set of concerns that need to be kept-in-mind throughout the entire development-process.

    So, more lives will be subject to identity-theft, wrongful-accusation/conviction-of-crimes, robbery, etc, because corporate institutions refused to be responsible…

    Will anything make the irresponsible-authorites accountable?

    Of course not: establishment protects its own.

    Force-altering the framing of secure development, however, that does look like it can make our future investments be significantly less corrupt.

    I have not bought that book, I have not read more than some of the sample, I’m not saying it definitively is the understanding we’re needing.

    I AM saying that what the authors were saying in the part I’d read definitely is on-the-mark about us solving-the-wrong-problem, producing wrong-results ( I’d say pretending to solve problems, as what we keep proving we’re doing is fundamentally more-corrupt than merely solving the wrong problem, but … )

    Manning has specials, periodically, so it should be possible to get the ebook for 40%…50% off, if one is patient, & persistent in checking their website.

    I want the results we’re making to be better.

    If anyone knows better means for making our results better, please correct my comment.
