    It means they will buy whatever security product the supplier who gives them the best night out recommends. Have it deployed on everything with the most basic configuration by someone who’s never used it before and then call it a day.

    Bonus points if it causes WAN and internet circuit problems because it’s shitting out logs or constantly downloading updates to 1000+ endpoints.

    Quality falls under this meme, too. My job is quality, so why do they have me doing this completely unrelated job that takes up half my time?

    This is outrageous and unfair.

    How can you say security is your top priority without allocating the budget for it?

    This is very unnatural and an unusual state of affairs

      Today, I want to talk about something critical to our company’s future: prioritizing security above all else. - Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO of Microsoft

      I don’t work for Microsoft, but it is hard for me to belive that security is really the top priority. And this is what my meme is about.

        I think it was taken seriously for a while. Gates did it similarly with the trustworthy computing initiative, as well, but they’re all so hell bent of profits that it’s only a matter of time before the directive erodes.

        I guess this is where regulation steps in (changing analogies and thinking about HIPAA and so on)
