Every few months I come across a company who begrudges paying for security and is proud of the fact.

We need people to understand that dealing with companies like that puts everyone who comes into contact with them at risk. They are a Typhoid Mary of the business world and should be avoided at all costs.

Unfortunately, there are enough other companies who share their views and keep them in business.

Security - you're only as strong as the weakest link.

I can't stress this enough.

If you're a CEO and you choose to ignore an industry expert, you better have a very, very good reason to do so. Going against an acknowledged expert is a fantastic way to get ousted by the board/investors.

While I'm being grumpy....

Why aren'thome products which have Ethernet ports required to support PoE?

If home routers were required to act as PoE sources and client products (IoT devices, alarms, cameras, smart home assistants, etc.) were required to be PoE powered rather than use an external power adapter there would be less materials used, lower risk of fire and electrical efficiency would increase.

I seem to be continually critiquing companies, products and services these days.

I hate to be negative, but it's very rare that I come across a properly secured, managed or run company.

Why can't people do InfoSec or even basic company management well?

I've always wanted a large 1980s green holographic picture and was thinking about finally buying one...

They're harder to find than hens teeth!
