CISA boss: Makers of insecure software are the real cyber villains
Write better code, urges Jen Easterly. And while you're at it, give crime gangs horrible names like 'Evil Ferret'
"The truth is: Technology vendors are the characters who are building problems" into their products,
which then "open the doors for villains to attack their victims," declared Easterly during a Wednesday keynote address at Mandiant's mWise conference.
"Despite a multi-billion-dollar cyber security industry, we still have a multi-trillion-dollar software quality issue leading to a multi-trillion-dollar global cyber crime issue"
Even calling security holes "software vulnerabilities" is too lenient, she added.
This phrase "really diffuses responsibility.
We should call them 'product defects,'" Easterly said.
And instead of automatically blaming victims for failing to patch their products quickly enough, "why don't we ask: Why does software require so many urgent patches?
While no one would buy a car or board an airplane "entirely at your own risk," we do that every day with the software that underpins America's critical infrastructure, she added.

In the last five years, Boeing has suffered a myriad of problems, some tragic and many embarrassing.
Most of them have proven financially devastating.
Two fatal crashes of its 737 Max, one in October 2018 and the other in March 2019, killed 346 people
and led to a 20-month grounding of Boeing’s best-selling plane and a halt in deliveries to fix a design flaw tied to the crashes.

Why it matters: Spruce Pine is one of the only places in the world to mine high-purity quartz.
The mineral is an essential ingredient of chips in countless products, including medical devices,
solar panels, cellphones and the chips powering the latest tech craze: artificial intelligence.
The deposits formed 380 million years ago when Africa collided with North America.
One western North Carolina town reeling from Tropical Storm Helene could impact the massive global semiconductor industry.

A strike by tens of thousands of dockworkers on the East and Gulf coasts, that could have seriously hurt the U.S. economy had it continued, has been called off.
The two sides have agreed to a 62% wage increase over six years, according to sources who were familiar with the deal but not authorized to speak publicly about it.
The union had been seeking a 77% increase over six years.
A day before the strike began, the companies had offered nearly 50% in raises.
