So why are basic controls so good? Is it because they have been around the longest so are the most efficient & refined?Because they were the 1st controls & we mitigated the biggest vulnerabilities 1st? Is it that they affect the threat side of the risk equation by limiting threat actor targeting?

Ultimately it's "do you trust you or do you trust your device more?" And probably in the future, "do you trust your genAI model?" I suppose for most folks, we do trust the device more. I still trust myself more though I think.
