| The overarching theme is why isn't everyone using this tool. A few issues: 1) They might be, and it's being fooled. But... 2) ...they're likely not using it. Consider the following: > "So why isn’t this system in widespread use? After all, much of it has been available since 2014." With the compromised servers being purchased in 2015 it's assuming the ubiquitous implementation of the described system a year after "much of it" was available. Big companies don't move that fast to begin with (budgets, politics, entrenchment of current processes, etc.). Also, the article doesn't site anywhere this tech has been proven in the wild. Do you want to make that case to your boss that your job can be replaced (and maybe theirs) with this, probably expensive to purchase and implement, unproven tech? That's even if you've heard or thought of this system coming together in 2014 to prevent an attack that would've infiltrated your network by 2015. The only defense they give for why it hasn't been used was they were waiting for a huge attack to help justify company's spend. That would help, but FICS would be better off taking on the initial capital costs and charging these big companies on a per server basis to use FICS's system (or spinning of a company to do so, idk how FICS could make this happen). It's like saying a day after SpaceX's flight around the moon that if your company wants to get to the moon have your company purchase a BFR and send their own people up. Cool. Take a hike. |
