Incredibly unfair, the character assassinations are totally uncalled for. The infosec community has a real problem with tearing each other apart. So much so, that journalists now also think it's okay.
* Just a reminder, they were tearing into the CISO for having a liberal arts degree (as if college degrees actually prepared you for anything..).
Totally agree here: blame the company and the leadership for not investing in the right processes and tools. People will always make mistakes.
Blame the people at the company who didn't make sure the right processes and tools were in place? It seems like while CTO made the error, he was also responsible for making sure he wouldn't be able to make such an error.
He failed at doing his job as a CTO and then failed at being a moderately competent entry level software engineer.
