Complexity as the enemy of security: This concept suggests that as a system becomes more complex, it’s harder to maintain its security. Each additional component or feature in a system could potentially introduce new vulnerabilities or make it harder to identify existing ones. Simplifying systems and eliminating unnecessary elements can, therefore, be an effective strategy for enhancing their overall security.
