      Also, since security is a process rather than a single binary event, there were numerous opportunities to improve even if compromised.

      Banks expect to get robbed! They don't expect to get robbed of Literally All Of The Money because it was kept in a single unlocked room.

      Equifax had terabytes of data exfiltrated off of their network. "And did we notice it?" "Nope." "And whose job was it to notice?" "..."

      You would hope that a company with critical information would have wargamed out breach scenarios years ago and put in layers of defense.

      "OK, if they pop a server, what do we do?" "An alarm is raised; we push the Madagascar button." "The what?" "Shut. Down. Everything."

      I will bet at 100 to 1 odds that Equifax has no Madagascar button, the utility of which is obvious years before any particular breach.

      I would also bet that Equifax did not think of the question "Who has the authority to push the Big Red Button?", which serious orgs do.

      Here's another win for Japanese mgmt (we do get *some* things right): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andon_(manufacturing) … Literally anyone can push the Big Red Button.

      In a Swedish Toyota factory each andon button has a unique chime. We got to hear the Bach on the visit, but did not hear the heavy metal

      You got the sense that the andon -button chime was neither an embarassment nor a sense of pride. Just a tool to get good quality.

      "The first rule about Big Red Buttons is that you're never wrong to press the BRB, but it is possible to be wrong about not BRBing."

          The ruthless part was the team lead’s job to quickly get the line running or everyone will come and ”help” in doing so. #pride / #shame

          2nd surprise. Lot of BRB-presses were due to exceptional tasks that had not yet been taught to the team member. Lots of on-the-job training
