Companies don't make production pushes yearly. For many, it's two week sprints..and that's one project.

This doesn't make any sense cost-wise. It would be cheaper to just hire a security engineer.

I agree the cost curve has shifted. But if we take the Mozilla team's Mythos report as a broad baseline, you need to hire something like 10 security engineers to equal the Mythos productivity. Put another way, everyone's under hiring security by a LOT right now, we just have been lucky enough to see similar under hiring on hackers.
