The Case for Why Better Breach Transparency Matters

The article argues that the cybersecurity industry needs far greater breach transparency and institutionalized feedback loops—similar to aviation or medicine—to learn from failures and reduce risk. It explains cultural and legal barriers (lawyers, liability, lack of federal governance such as an inactive Cyber Safety Review Board), cites examples (Equifax, Salt Typhoon, ransomware, PowerSchool), and recommends mechanisms like anonymized reporting, delayed disclosure, and regulatory safe harbors to encourage good-faith post‑mortems and collective learning.
