Cost-Cutting, Compliance and Security

My curiosity propelled me into the world of computer security. Beginning of the journey was quite tough as the bean counters of corporate world were busy with cost cutting (really? Or the cost cutting doesn’t apply to boss’ female secretary and other cronies ;-) )
However, things have started improving for security consultants as organizations have started acting for the sake of standards compliance (typically a Whitewash).

Hopefully, things will improve further and Chief Security Officers/Managers will also get a promotion from the role of scapegoat to some active role in the organizations. Till that time, live with cost cutting and compliance…..
