The 288-Vendor Security Ecosystem Is a Lie. Here’s the Truth.

The identity security market has 288 vendors, but that’s not a blessing – it’s a trap.

No technical fix can patch a legal vulnerability. The system you trusted has a secret backdoor held by governments β€” and the industry goes silent when you ask.
