Honestly a lot of the problem is: people aren’t studying systems engineering OR security. Look at all the “learn to code in 21 days” BS and all the code academies.

There’s so much emphasis on abstracting away the systems with cloud-this and elastic-that and developers don’t know much about general systems engineering.

My recommendation to software developers: take the Network+ and Security+ exams at the bare minimum.

Honestly as much as people complain about process getting in the way of things, there should be checks and balances at any business that deals with personal information. Finance institutions are heavily regulated—these fkers should be held accountable.
