Indeed. The reaction from our customers was hilarious after our development team released a public statement stating we weren't vulnerable to the big log4j exploit because the version they used was so old that feature didn't exist yet
"We are not vulnerable to this exploit, but we are vulnerable to these ~300 other exploits because we don't update our crap!"
Impressive!
The customer base was less impressed. I was just dumbfounded
What was that saying again?
"the biggest thread to the safety and cybersecurity of the citizens of a country ... are managers who think that cybersecurity is just a number on an exellsheet"
(I don't know where I read this, but I think it really hits the nail on the head)
Security expenditures are just numbers on an Excel sheet, just like HR, and legal...it's a business.
You know what else is a big threat? Executives of cost-center departments not understanding how to articulate their needs in terms of profit, or profit loss.
HR and legal departments are generally much better at explaining their concerns and needs in terms of profit, and not abstract concepts i.e. security.
