> Update their dependencies within two months of a critical security vulnerability being patched (Mar 10 to May 12).

They thought they did, but failed.

> In the event of a breach, detect it within a reasonable timeframe (76 days is not reasonable when you're the Fort Knox of financial information).

Impossible to guarantee. A sophisticated enough attack might never be detected, regardless of the competence of the security department.

> Have a reasonably well-segmented network such that a compromise in a single user-facing web app doesn't lead to your entire network being compromised.

It is impossible to so completely segment a network. If I can get the data via an authorized program, that means there's a path between networks and a hacker can potentially exploit that path.
