The phrase \u201cMove fast and break things\u201d is a guiding philosophy in the technology industry. The phrase was coined by Meta CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg more than two decades ago: an operational directive for Facebook developers to prioritize speed and innovation even at the cost of stability. \u201cUnless you are breaking stuff,\u201d Zuckerberg told Business Insider in a 2009 interview, \u201cyou are not moving fast enough.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Zuckerberg\u2019s call was heard well beyond Facebook\u2019s offices. The tech industry has embraced the philosophy for close to two decades, with benefits that are visible all around us: from Tik-Tok influencers, to contactless mobile payments, self-driving taxis, and AI-powered glasses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Practically, however, the culture of \u201cmove fast and break things\u201d produced firms that prioritize fast release cycles and feature development over software security and resilience. They move fast and make broken things: vulnerable and poorly designed applications, services and devices that are preyed on by cybercriminal groups and hostile nations. Consider the China-backed APT groups targeting both known and \u201czero-day\u201d flaws in on-premises Microsoft Sharepoint instances in 2025 and Ivanti VPN devices in 2023. Those campaigns led to the compromise of hundreds of organizations globally, including U.S. federal agencies and critical infrastructure operators.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then there was the campaign by the China-backed threat actor UNC6395 who targeted customers of Salesforce using OAuth tokens stolen from the third party application Salesloft Drift to exfiltrate large volumes of data from hundreds of Salesforce instances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These incidents highlight two key features of today\u2019s cyberthreat landscape. First, attackers exploit older applications with legacy code that contains high-severity security vulnerabilities. Second, they target large, complex cloud platforms like Salesforce by compromising vulnerable third-party integrations, software…<\/p>\n
