How many boot camp web devs are currently being churned out who don't know the first thing about the 1000 ways their service could be attacked?

Seems like the solution being offered up in the article is more bootcamp.

Luckily there are now cyber security professional boot camps to fix this. Not kidding: https://bootcamp.umn.edu/cybersecurity/

Many. Worked with a boot camp grad. She asked for help. Open the file and SQL injection literally dead center of the first page. Not a clue or sense of urgency to fix.
