Securosis: Giving up

“I joke that security is Bizarro World, where a good day is when nothing happens. You are never thanked for stopping the attack, but instead vilified when some wingnut leaves their laptop in a coffee shop or clicks on some obvious phish. You don’t control much of anything, have limited empowerment, and are still expected to protect everything that needs to be protected. For many folks, going to work is like lying on a bed of nails for 10-12 hours a day.

So basically to be successful in security you need an attitude adjustment.”
