software is fundamentally broken in some way that it just gets harder and harder to keep a lid on the more effort we make. There is money to be made selling inflatable rafts before a tsunami, but it's pretty depressing work and pretty much everyone is still going to die. The only semi-workable answers are air gapping and drastically reducing the size of your code base, and neither are working that awesome for people or is anyone much willing to do it. Look at google chromeos. One of the lowest attack surface pcs on the market and it was designed from the ground up assuming they'd get owned regularly. Very few other orgs are doing either one.
