When everything is going wrong, the boss says "What do we even pay IT for?"
When nothing is going wrong, the boss says "What do we even pay IT for?"
Doesn't matter how important IT Security is these days or how many big corporations have been hit with ransomware, IT is still considered only important if there is an active security event, otherwise its a forgettable cog in the machine.
Expect more data breaches as more companies cut costs in their IT departments.
You dont fire your janitor when your hallways are clean.
Eventually they'll realize that IT is important and bring them back. Or, management will change and they'll go through the whole thing again
My friend is a manager at a hospital. The union that manages the janitors and a number of other groups went on strike and they told me about how there were overflowing trash cans, shit on bathroom floors, and random trash all over the hospital after one day.
To correct for this, managers who were not on strike had to pick up extra tasks that aligned with their skill set. Humorously, the only thing the CEO was qualified to do was be the janitor, as they had no medical related experience and could not assist with those jobs.
Eh...they'll just pay the ransom like everyone else.
There are two markets for cybersecurity:
(of which there aren't many)
(who lives on the nonstop taxpayer gravy train)
The manufacturing and engineering worlds still need people, and it dovetails well into our existing skillsets.
IT is like the transit advisor from Sim City 2000
Wasn’t he the guy who screamed at you if you set funding at like 95%?
