[Vitalik: Cybersecurity Will Shift Toward a Defensive Advantage, But the Transition Will Be Challenging and Require Deeper Changes] Foresight News reports that Vitalik Buterin tweeted, stating that he has not predicted, nor will he predict, that defense will 'automatically surpass' offense. He expects cybersecurity to eventually shift toward a defensive advantage, but the transition process will be very challenging. 'Good actors discovering vulnerabilities in released software earlier than bad actors' is not inherently a game favoring defense. Achieving a defensive advantage requires deeper methodological changes, including formal verification, proactive minimization of the trusted computing base (TCB), and more, which are currently only in their early stages. He noted that this distinction is also a key reason why he continues to support slowing down or pausing certain developments. He believes that more than 1% of GDP should be invested in cybersecurity, biosecurity, and strengthening the physical world.
