The 7 Cs of Security Brutalism

"Clear, Concrete Controls Consistently Crush Complexity, Complacency, and Cost."

Clear – no ambiguity in rules or policies.

Concrete – real, enforceable, binary decisions.

Controls – the core mechanism of security.

Crush – strong, non-negotiable enforcement.

Complexity – the enemy of effective security.

Complacency – what attackers count on.

Cost – simplified controls reduce overhead.
