That’s brilliantly articulated. It’s high time we get off our high horse and admit that cybersecurity risks are not the only ones that business worries about.
We happily quote examples - “Look what the Crowdstrike outage did to this airline.”, while the board asks - “Did it affect share prices”. Completely different points of view!
While reading, I was unsettled by the author's pro-capitalist stance. You seem to attribute the effects of the global economic downturn on companies almost entirely to security expenses. It’s as if you stopped just short of suggesting that companies should 'accept being hacked because reports are a sales strategy.' Sacrificing the knowledge base and skill sets of the cybersecurity ecosystem -which systematically builds new foundations and positions itself at the heart of digitalization- to the popularity of the capitalist machinery essentially means going back to where we started.
This problem is so bad that there are marketing-adjacent companies that make it their business to sell delusions, and they seem to be doing pretty well.
They make up stats like, "$10.5 trillion in damages from cybercrime in 2025". Some security vendors eat it up and post it everywhere. I see stuff like this and think, "yeah, I wouldn't take us seriously either."
