The liability of allowing this. Liability to the company. It is factually minimal and inconsequential.

Look at the stock price hit companies take when they have security breaches. The impact is basically none apart from a short-term dip which recovers soon enough. Or look at the fines companies get for breaches, always a minuscule percentage of their profit.

This is why companies will keep short-changing security, because to them it's just a cost that doesn't really matter. And objectively, it doesn't matter when viewed from the lens of maximizing profit at all cost.

Did crowdstrike go out of business yet as a consequence of their breach? Did tmobile? Did equifax? These all should have, but all are going strong.

So yes, impact is minimal and inconsequential.

Depressing.
