Adding Cybersecurity to a 30-Year-Old Legacy App Is Pure Cosmetic Theater

Description

A meme with the caption 'When you add cybersecurity to a 30 year old legacy application..' above a photo of a white dress shirt where the buttons and buttonholes are completely misaligned. The left placket has about 10 white buttons sewn on in a slightly staggered column, while the right placket has roughly 20 buttonholes sliced into the fabric in a chaotic, scattered pattern that don't correspond to any of the buttons. The shirt collar is visible at the top. The metaphor is clear: bolting modern security controls onto ancient code results in nothing actually locking together properly, just the appearance of structure with zero functional alignment
