Mistakes years in the making tell a universal story that must not be ignored
Hands up if you said it was burned to the ground by barbarians. That's almost entirely wrong – we'll get to that in a bit – and that's not important. What matters is we think such a thing is so tragic, so emblematic of cultural collapse, that we've told ourselves that story for nearly two thousand years.
If you have any years on you in this game, you will have first-hand experience of some of the factors identified in the report as enabling the disaster. Legacy systems too old to be safe, too expensive in time and money to replace, while more pressing needs exist. People who are asked to do too much with too little. The deadly inertia of complexity. New projects that leave older systems to wither in the shade. Security that rigorously defends against the wrong thing.
Not here. You can call it commendable candour, or the proper response for a public service provider, it doesn't matter. The enterprise IT infrastructure industry worldwide has been given a chance to audit its own practices as they really are, and the consequences that really flow. Internal reports can be written and cases made at all levels to plan, rebuild, manage and prioritize with wisdom and awareness.
