The Scenario: This cyber attack surface cartoon features a "helpful" consultant from Pain Consulting presenting to an audience of silhouettes.
On the whiteboard is a convoluted map of "Entry Points" and a mathematical formula attempting to quantify the attack vectors for a company aptly named Vulnerasys Inc.
It perfectly satirizes the way security firms often use complex diagrams and formulas to explain the simple, terrifying reality that a company has too many ways to be hacked.
The Observation: At Kaapi with Ravi, we identify "The Consultant’s Complexity Trap."
This cartoon mocks the tendency to turn cyber attack surface management into a high-level math problem rather than an operational fix.
In the current cybersecurity climate, the humor lies in the consultant's calm demeanor while essentially telling a room full of people that their attack vectors are a chaotic mess.
It is a sharp critique of an industry that often bills by the arrow on the whiteboard rather than the lock on the door.
In cybersecurity, the only thing that grows faster than your attack surface is the consultant's bill for drawing a diagram of it.
