It's not like they haven't. They are subject to the same security management costs as anybody else, including password complexity, vulnerability patching and file encryption.

Of course being a security firm puts them in the position of having a lot of know-how on how to manage and configure secure systems. But so does any CISO, including Target's, Kaspersky's, and many others.

They may have done a better job at defending their systems? Sure.

Should we have expected that from them? Not so sure.
