But everyone rolls their own security. Security isn't a feature of the application, it's a characteristic of every piece of code, workflow, and practice your dev team implements. I know this sounds like a platitude, but if you treat security like something that you should only let the experts handle, you may end up not paying attention to the security properties that end up in your control.

Don't write your own crypto. That's great advice. The idea that everyone's auth needs are so standard they fit for every app just hasn't been realistic in my experience.
