Cybersecurity failures in the U.S. stem from software quality issues, not just cyber threats. As attackers exploit system vulnerabilities, the focus should be on improving software security rather than relying on the cybersecurity industry. AI presents a solution, enabling the creation of safer code and fixing existing flaws. To leverage AI effectively, incentives must be realigned, and a standardized approach to software security must be established. Without systemic changes, security will remain an afterthought in software design, leaving critical infrastructure at risk.
