My earlier joking about LLMs aside... I too would not agree that humans are 'the weakest link', there surely are cases where 'a human' was 'a weakness', but in the context of Dr. Reason's swiss cheese model, rarely the weakest in the overall design of any system. After all, a key objective of proper cybersecurity is exactly to mitigate the human factor, so arguably, by definition if it came down to a human, something more critical failed. (Design, GRC, etc.) (From maker-checker to insider threat - the field is supposed to be designing to reduce the weakness of the human factor; if anything, that failed.)
