The cybersecurity crisis has not been driven solely by the failures of regulators or the blind conformity of organizations. A significant contributor to the ongoing problem is the role played by cybersecurity vendors and auditors.

Their actions have created a system where the illusion of security masks widespread vulnerabilities.
