If - in the event of a cyber attack - you are concerned with the run-time of your visual display tool for tracing back the source of the attack, then this article is for you.
What infosec has much more of is sales people. There's just a huge market trying to solve a tough problem. So from an outside perspective maybe you see a lot of bullshit but it's a highly technical field. Really, I only learned to be a software dev to up my infosec game, I find infosec to be a far more challenging and interesting field.
However, it’s also full of bullshit & marketing that want to convince you that every little technical detail is a vector for a potential cyberattack! You don’t want to be the next business suffering from ransomware gangs, do you? Better purchase our advanced endpoint detection powered by AI/“Neural Networks”, and don’t forget your automated security scanning designed with ChatGPT and quantum encrypted database backups to stop the Chinese/Russian state actors/hackers in their tracks!
In terms of the explosion in products, sure. But that doesn't apply to the technical people. There are lots of problems because there's a large market solving a complex problem. If you're actually talking to technical people they can be of a pretty high calibur.
Side note: you should read my other comment on this thread.
But maybe they too are salesmen types. Marketing their services to midwit management people on twitter. I include politicians in this too. Hurr durr china is going to defeat us in "cyber space" opens up a lot of business opportunities for government contractors. No one care about compilers, or operating systems the same way.
As for Twitter, that has to do with infosec having trouble communicating and a bunch of other stuff. I started to explain and it's not really worth getting into. Twitter was really important to infosec communication.
You'd want a lot of people with strong management skills.
