Why your IT can’t – won’t – and doesn’t win – AKA Why Your IT Bytes. IT Sec and InfoSec professionals are necessary in this day and age. IT always looks for the quick and dirty fix. They want to keep the end user/manager/C-level happy. InfoSec pros know this isn’t the way. So why the difference? It’s simple, IT doesn’t know. Malware to them is an inconvenience – not a sign of something bigger might be at stake and that’s it’s a deterrent. IT worries too much about losing their job and not enough about what’s really at stake, the data. So how do we educate IT, get help from IT, let IT work for us? First we identify the problems, second we educate, and lastly we implement. Often times many of us don’t want to get our hands dirty with IT work. Many of us left it in a world behind and don’t want to return. It’s time we return to our roots and lift up our computer brethren.
