> A new cybersecurity and resilience bill will make it mandatory to report more incidents.

I know very little about cyber security in the wild - little Bobby Tables is about my level.
Are these hacks unavoidable, or are they indicative of shoddy IT on the victim's side? There has been a sleugh of cyberattacks recently and I don't know what to make of it.
If it's kind of like getting burgled - get good home security but a determined burglar will get in anyway - then it's a systemic problem we have to somehow tackle as a society. And if it's shoddy workmanship, again, it would appear so widespread that we have to do something about it.
I'm not passing judgment, just trying to understand.
