Didn't get your point here; see, they are obviously suggesting
prevention.
My point is that prevention and redress of security issues are
consistently given only cursory attention; often little more than lip
service...until systems start crashing or the firm starts hemorrhaging
sensitive data.
To be honest, I'm not very concerned. I wear a lot of hats across the
IT sector, so I've always got work. But when (not if) the next system
gets cratered because of lousy security, I'll be more than happy to do
the work, earn the large sums, and consider the cashing of the
customer's checks as my way of saying, "See, I told you so."
Oh, very professional.
Thanks. I've long appreciated the wisdom of the adage that one
can lead a horse to water but cannot make it drink, so I focus instead on
making the beast thirsty enough to rethink its mission.
