It could be uploading files to the internet.

It could be encrypting files.

I don't necessarily think it doesn't exist.

I think the problem is the way we've looked at security for the last three decades is about finding a threat and responding to that threat.

And that is definitely part of security.

But the reality is...

Even when we think about going back to the early 2000s, you get an email service.

They were all open relay because we came up with this great technology email.

We all wanted to make it as simple as possible.

So you'd put an SMTP server out on the internet.

You'd allow it to send email to anyone.

Very, very quickly, people started abusing servers.

And then we created these lists of bad email servers and we'd start listing them on it.

And then eventually people stopped leaving their services open relays.

And today, if you see an open relay, it's very, very rare.

I think the problem is we go out and say, let's open up this technology to the whole world and we want to do it as fast and simple as possible.

And that is the pattern.

Like, how do I get it as fast and simple as possible?

The security mechanisms haven't really changed that much.

I mean, like blocking things, only allowing what you need.
