Everything that is the problem today in the realm of security, especially “cybersecurity”, comes from thinking that is rooted in the Dark Ages.
“Fortress” Thinking
There is so much wrong with the way we think about security and the approach we take to handle it today, but I have come to the conclusion, that they can all be traced back to one fundamental mistake: we use the wrong model when thinking about security, especially computer and network security.
We try to protect our digital assets the same way a fortress or castle would protect its valuables by way of a thick impenetrable wall or a moat – a security method that is thousands of years old.
