Tell me what the IETF could be doing that it isn't already doing.

I'm not talking about what implementors and operators and users should
be doing; still less about what legislators should or shouldn't be
doing. I care about all those things, but the question here is what
standards or informational outputs from the IETF are needed, in addition
to what's already done or in the works.

I think we need to rethink the way we do protocols or the way security
WGs do standards. It will be easy to blame/ask the Security Area
participants/experts of what was not done or what should been done,
however, this area seems more as a cross-area, and I suggest that the
IETF re-thinks or re-structures the Security area and/or its WGs'
Charteres.
