Fireworks AI got hacked despite SOC 2 and ISO certs — 'security theater' debate

Chris Ciaba points out Fireworks AI was hacked while holding SOC 2 and ISO 27001/27701/42001 certifications, arguing these audits — costing tens to hundreds of thousands per year — have become 'security theater' that only proves you could pay a $12,000 compliance shop. Quoter Desiree Cachette draws a parallel to insurance: she paid $100,000 in premiums for Fund I coverage that proved worthless, even harmful when an attacker assumed the insurer would pay $2M. Both call for a security framework that actually works, especially in the AI-driven cyber threat era.
