If $company has had enough "company ending” security issues to keep you busy every work day for the past 5 months since mythos release then maybe said company shouldn't be in business to begin with? Clearly they cannot have taken security serious in any way shape or form.

If $typical_software_stacks have had enough "company ending" security issues ... maybe the whole industry have been seriously misguided for decades? Clearly they cannot have taken security serious in any way shape or form.

That's correct, but this won't dismiss the parent commenter's argument. A world wide industry cannot be held accountable, but a for-profit company's executive board can be.

Neither "shutdown the company with bad code" nor "because there is bad code out there AI driven security findings are unworthy" is the conclusion I would come to.

Yeah. But how about fining the shit out of companies with found vulnerabilities and data breaches? I can guarantee you they would all harden security in a day if the fines were costly enough

I'll stand with you on this one. I used to work for a cowboy company and I disliked being the minority that actually cared about stability while the head honcho did lip service to the concepts everyday.
