It won't become the norm, it is the norm. Security is incredibly hard and nothing is truly secure. If someone wants in badly enough they'll get in.
Keep your sensitive data in house, encrypt and back it up off site.
The reality is: security is often non-existent in larger corporations. It's all about optics and insurance. Hardly any project I've been involved with actually did something for security. It's a cobbled together mess with just enough security theater to not be legally liable. That's it.
Case in point: I know of a database that holds data for pretty much all adult persons in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and some people from surrounding countries. The root password contains the company's name and the year the DB was initially set up.
