But yet, the pigs who built the houses of straw and sticks got eaten. The pig who built the house of bricks is seen as responsible, even though it took longer and cost more; he made the right choice.

The wolf is seen as ever-present. Failure to consider the wolf when choosing building materials has consequences.

It blows my mind that this story has been part of our culture for centuries, yet we apply exactly the opposite model to cybersecurity.

Yea, CyberSecurity will get fixed when companies are held responsible to the point that data breaches have severe impact on bottom line.
