Being in infosec for so long takes its toll. I've come to the conclusion that if you give a data point to a company, they will eventually sell it, leak it, lose it or get hacked and relieved of it. There really don't seem to be any exceptions, and it gets depressing.

That’s depressing. As someone who is 6 months from their bachelors in Cyber Security this is troubling to hear. Frequent reader of your website btw. A professor of mine at SNHU steered my class in your direction

That's how I look at it. As an Information Security Specialist I don't have any fears of not ever having a job. My job just gets harder every day

IT in general is loaded with it. HR and seinor execs need to wisen up and fire people that refuse to move forward, or flat out dont know their jobs.

Everyone I know in IT is overworked and, unless they have zero going on in their lives, behind the training curve cause the company is not willing to invest in training. HR and sr execs need to wise up, give up some salaries, and fix it. Or it's not really a problem.

The entire system is based on a foundation of insecurity and half-baked oversight, with a dash of regulatory avoidance and a side of "we can't afford that".

John Wooden said it best.....“Essentially, I was always more of a practice coach than a game coach. This is because of my conviction that a player who practices well, plays well.” Prepare for the inevitable.

I wouldn't say incompetence. In my experience it's unwillingness to assign any sort of rational budget to infosec. In an information driven world that's preposterous to me.

Naa it’s not incompetence or laziness. It’s realisation that it really doesnt matter. The bottom line isn’t affected. Just don’t get caught not caring.

Incompetence of who: Devs? Infosec? Manager not prioritising it?

Business imperatives (ROI/Return to Shareholders) trump low risk of reportable detection and adverse consequences. We wouldn't expect the private sector to have unilateral, endpoint x endpoint, responsibility for fixing this if there were significant numbers of lives lost.

Hanlon’s Razor! Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity/incompetence.

Incompetence or people being overworked to the point where mistakes are made and shortcuts are taken?

Without consequences. Worse- the companies with the greatest sensitive data like Credit Report co’s and the IRS are seemingly NEVER held to consequences.
