Posited corollary: @wendynather@infosec.exchange's "security poverty line" has always had a companion threshold: a "security realism poverty line", the divide between organizations that have the political will to mercilessly and constantly reduce the gap between what they think is true (or want to be true, or have budgeted to be true) and what is actually true ... and those that don't, whether due to budget or competence or competing incentives. And the AI-accelerated death of security through all-cause obscurity (described above) is magnifying the gap on either side of that line. Sinclair's "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it" ... is an existential security threat that will now more rapidly metastasize if left unchecked.
