It really isn't rocket science.  The major thing it takes is a
willingness to not follow the vast herd of lemmings, and that is
something in very short supply at government agencies of all sorts.

Even something as simple as ditching Windows would have prevented this
infection.  Using machines not based on x86 CPUs would have added a
belt to the suspenders.

But, just as once upon a time nobody got fired for buying IBM, nobody
gets fired for choosing x86 and Windows, even when (as here) they
should.
