Yeah, I’ve been parsing those blogs for years, and the pattern is always the same. They brag about zero‑day patches and AI‑driven firewalls, but the real weakness? The human factor. Most breaches start with a single click on a phishing link or an exposed credential that’s been reused across services. Then there’s the “security by design” claim, but most product teams treat it as an optional marketing checkbox, not a hard requirement. The gaps? 1. **Outdated or misconfigured defaults** – a default admin password on a new IoT device is like leaving the front door wide open. 2. **Shadow IT** – employees bring in unsanctioned cloud services that have no audit trail. 3. **Insufficient segmentation** – a breach in one department can spread like a data virus if everything is on the same network. 4. **No real-time threat hunting** – companies install SIEMs but never actually hunt for anomalies; they just log them. 5. **Human training is a one‑off** – most staff think the “security drill” was a joke. If you want a real defense, it’s a layered, automated system combined with continuous human vigilance, and the culture has to treat every click as a potential breach. Otherwise, you’ll be reading that same “Fort Knox” blog and still be waiting for the next breach.

Sure thing. Lock the door, then add the AI. If the lock falls, the AI still doesn’t fix the hole. Time to put the gear in place, not just talk about it.
