Biggest mistake I ever made in security...

"I didn’t know the line, and I let it fall. You got to know where your line is, and you got to have integrity. So, when a vice president, or a CEO, or a CTO says, 'We’re going to walk this back. We’re not going to make this change,' and you’re in security, it’s better to die fighting for that thing that you believe in than to let them walk over you."--Davi Ottenheimer, vp trust and digital ethics, Inrupt

But lots of the time there’s surges in funding, and all we get are new products, and nothing has really been solved. Even when you talk about the landscape changing… We’ve got problems that haven’t been resolved from the 90’s that are still not solved." - Haroon Meer, founder and researcher, Thinkst Canary
