The article argues that cybersecurity failures are often driven less by individual vulnerabilities than by the fundamental design of interconnected TCP/IP networks, which make exposure and lateral movement difficult to prevent. It also previews future discussions on end-of-life systems, OT/IT convergence, and human factors, while noting that CVE-identified flaws will still be covered. #TCPIP #CVE #KEV #OT #IT
Keypoints
- The author introduces a new column on vulnerabilities and infosec history.
- He argues that network architecture often helps attackers more than defenders.
- Universal IP connectivity makes exposure and reachability a core security problem.
- Zero-trust is difficult to fully implement because of legacy systems and IT/OT bridging.
- Future topics will include end-of-life software, OT/IT convergence, and human-centric security issues.
