Threat Model: Every Nation State

Description

A network diagram shows a dotted path from a blue cloud labeled "The Bad Internet" through four brick firewall icons into a blue oval labeled "Our trusted LAN." The firewalls are labeled "Huawei FW" with "Protection against US backdoors," "Juniper FW" with "Protection against Chinese backdoors," "Cisco FW" with "Protection against Israeli backdoors," and "Checkpoint FW" with "Protection against Russian backdoors." The joke is that a paranoid organization stacks firewall vendors to defend against every possible state-aligned supply-chain backdoor, turning defense in depth into geopolitical dependency management.
