How technical debt creates security exposure your CISO cannot see
Security teams assess the security of systems. They rarely assess the security of decisions embedded in those systems history. Technical debt is where that gap lives.
Zero trust architecture is not a product you can buy
Zero trust has become a category of security products. That has made it easier to procure and harder to implement. The architecture decisions behind zero trust are what make the difference.
Security debt behaves like technical debt and compounds the same way
Security debt is not just technical debt with a different label. It compounds differently, it is harder to quantify. Unlike technical debt, a single unaddressed vulnerability can produce a catastrophic rather than a gradual failure. The organisations that treat security debt as a line item have already misunderstood it.
