Everyone from interns to CEOs has heard the long-worn phrase "There is no such thing as 100% cybersecurity". But as with many universally accepted sayings, the crucial question here is: what follows from this? In the context of cybersecurity, the answer should be: a rethink. Absolute security is not only unattainable, it is also unnecessary. The variety of sources of error alone makes it clear that systems can never be fully protected - from zero-day exploits, the exploitation of an as yet undetected vulnerability, and undocumented maintenance access to new attack methods and even human...
