It’s happened again. The security folks present an agenda and it is immediately demoted to a low priority. There’s always some excuse … another higher priority has come on the scene, there is concern that putting resources on security could hamper economic progress, military activities, etc. Time and time again, information security folks have neither the authority nor the will to stand up to detractors. There are those who believe that it is what it is, and that infosec is merely getting the attention that it warrants, based on the priorities of others. It is just such an attitude that has put us into the mess that we are in.
