The Dao of defense
summary
Argues for a practical framework called the seven chakras of security that maps specific defenses to business goals and capacity, not vague ideals. Claims bug bounty is not a replacement for a pen test: pentests are NDA, low-volume and controlled; open bounties invite unpredictable load and need prework. Recommends concrete steps: assess org capabilities beyond engineering, harden infrastructure and processes before opening programs, and measure readiness rather than chasing bugs.
