Security professionals at most organizations often have a thankless job.
Typically challenged with a shortage of technologies, clearly defined processes, and supporting personnel and resources, they live in a reactive world handling the latest operational problem, patching the latest vulnerability, or responding to another compromise.
Unfortunately, in this state, the organization is likely to see continued incidents and the associated degradation of its security posture. While most security professionals do not have the power to increase investments and make organizational changes that will help alleviate the aforementioned situation, they can, with the help of their leaders, drive key low-cost to high reward investments that will improve their security posture.
