Investigate Microsoft for Negligent Cybersecurity? Or look at the software development community and do root cause analysis.

A United States Senator – Senator Wyden – has asked the FTC and DOJ to investigate Microsoft for its role in a previous cyber-hack and an email breach.  I applaud this direction but suggest that “picking” on Microsoft and looking at cybersecurity is, at most, only a start, and I may question that this is a good starting point.  Let us do a “root cause analysis” for these incidents and others.  We strongly suggest that it is the software industry that is “stuck” in Maturity Level 1 software practices, and needs to progress to Maturity Level 3.  Have a listen, and your comments are welcome.
