I can only partially agree with this point. Businesses getting cybersecurity wrong has almost no material and significant consequences. At best, they get a tiny slap on the wrist or asked to answer some questions. Nobody in said businesses goes to jail for it or personally pays any fines. Compare that to criminals who have a lot more to lose if they get caught — jail time, fines they have to pay, not having freedom for quite sometime, life not being the same after they’ve served their sentence, and more. Businesses have it extremely easy compared to this. No wonder cybersecurity is so poor among all businesses, including very large ones (like Microsoft, as a recent example).
