Thank you all for your responses, I have had a lot to think over. I should mention that most of middle management I have worked for (and the upper management here) is actually talented, dedicated people, some of whom have been mentors in a way to me. The problem, to me, is ultimately one of attitude that is displayed toward security (from the top down), that is: “Security is un-important”.
In my case, the best thing to do will be to leave gracefully before the company winds up on the cover of www.f*ckedcompany.com due to shabby IT practices. I have been deluding myself for some time, thinking that management will come around, and that security practices would improve. I will just leave quietly and wish them all well. Speaking with the CEO wouldn’t help at all. He will just think of me next time his business gets cracked and he loses customers (think of me in a negative way, that is). I am glad to know that infosec is still an option; I will just have to choose the right company. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
