summary
A concise history of what actually changed: encryption becomes default after widespread push and the emergence of Let's Encrypt made HTTPS free and automated, worm outbreaks like the Love Bug infect >10 million machines force patching, segmentation, and incident response, bug bounties reframe incentives and reduce legal risk, a three‑day DVD outage prompts a cloud migration and a seven‑year rebuild that proves cloud‑native security can outperform on‑prem, and early AI tools begin automating decades‑old legacy code fixes.
