As someone who works in big tech on a product with a large attack surface -- security is a huge chunk of our costs in multiple ways
- Significant fraction of all developer time (30%+ just on my team?)
- Huge increase to the complexity of the system
- Large accumulated performance cost over time
Obviously it's not a 1-to-1 analogy but if we didn't have to worry about this sort of prodding we would be able to do a lot more with our time. Point being that it's probably closer to a 2x cost factor than it is to a 1% increase.
