A capability behind closed access cannot be evaluated by those who need it most. But if the cost of security checking drops to near zero, motivation to adopt it will follow on its own. →

The choice of the most foundational companies is rational — new practices propagate outward from the infrastructure layer. The rationale is sound; the resulting asymmetry in access is not. →

Once the model is publicly released, automated vulnerability scanners will outpace any individual defender's ability to patch. →

Security today is a separate discipline affordable only to large organizations. It will become an integral part of the development process. →
