...Informed Restraint...our industry could use more of that.
Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt are emotional motivators for certain, what we really need are business drivers to take the leadership role and remove emotion from the business decision making process.
What would make anyone believe that each and every current microprocessor manufacturer doesn't have comparable vulnerabilities that they are praying don't make it to the cover of the Wall Street Journal?
The hype cycle for these vulnerabilities has been, and continues to be immense. But, if you look at the folks with the budget and business drivers to separate the wheat from the chaff, most are showing restraint and NOT fueling the FUD machine. I vote for informed restraint.
You earn your street cred and respect each and every day by NOT jumping on the latest and greatest FUD coat tails. If you're squandering precious resources in a race to mitigate these two vulnerabilities, that's odd. You probably have thousands of much riskier vulnerabilities you’re NOT currently planning to mitigate.
“…it’s better to listen and be thought a fool than to speak and eliminate all doubt…”
