It's unfortunately far too counter to "move fast and break stuff" that startup space tends to be enamored of, because they tend to want you to do things safely and try to avoid a "Front page of the New York Times" type of security event.

Sure wish it meant more than it does. Sorry that "Front page of the NYT" phrase is one I've been using since back when everyone would have expected it to be the death of a company!
