Attitude change in the sense of not being willing to allow inherently insecure architectures - management always moving the company towards secure-on-principle architectures (not that I'm qualified to say if it's a good example but Google's BeyondCorp is an example of aiming to make everything secure on principle meaning not leaky on principle). That added to any pentesting or other necessary immediate security measures.

The impression I have is that today's event was the result of a lot of companies allowing insecure-on-principle architectures like a zillion apps each with their own update structure (random Ukrainian enterprise app supplier gets penetrated and the whole world goes down). A pentester might never be able to find that vector until that app supplier leaves their door open or someone finds out about them for example.
