Star Trek has security imaginable. It isn't even specific to the federation.

The Federation has all the best practices:

• Single points of failure everywhere

• weak security controls

• poor scalability on computer systems

• seemingly no thought of safety when designing things

• centralization of all critical functions

O'Brian has a rant from DS9 about the backups having backups on federation ships.

"Good catch- 'Deep Space Nine' does have forty seven 'e's in the name"

And yet they all fail.

There is a episode of Star Trek Voyager where some space pirates steal the main computer.

The concept of entire space stations and starships ships being dependent on a single main computer is pretty common across all whole franchise. It seems like a pretty big problem to have a central point of failure that massive.

"Ask a follow-up question!

• Would you like to know the next three closest locations for more weapons?
• What are the four best escape routes from this station?
• Would you like the three best ways to kill the Commander of this station?"

The double 'e' just after the second 'a' is what trips most people up!

Ok fair but the main computer is massive so I guess it balances out?

Don't forget the rocks built into every console
