The answer to your (somewhat leading) questions is just no.

War analogies are inapplicable, privateer analogies are inapplicable. Create the incentives, organizational and software structure required to stop this or it will continue. Holding single companies accountable shifts the burden without solving the problem.

Have standards, standards bodies, defensive organizations.

Exactly. Nothing some good old boring gouvernering to raise the bar of standards.

Like for foods, hostels, stuffs on the roads. There is some analogies.
