My first thought was how software complexity imitates life.
I remember seeing a reference[1] that about 5-10% of all Windows operating system source code was dedicated to security in one sense or another, such as malware detection, cryptographic libraries, certificates, Defender, Bitlocker, UAC, all the complicated code for file permissions, privileges, authentication, etc.
[1] This is one of those things that is very difficult to Google for, and I haven't been able to find a reference to where I read it.
