In the last few years we used to do windows updates quarterly on our production servers as required by PCI DSS. In the last year though, we’ve had to do updates every single month due to critical CVEs needing to be patched. It’s becoming ludicrous actually, yet they’re cutting security folk.
Fucking hell, man, with how many very publicly visible security problems they had last year, you’d think the stakeholders would be on board with doing security for a bit.
Stock price is still way up compared so 2022, security issues notwithstanding. Why fight battles that won’t impact the bottom line?
It’s pretty important to me to not turn to a life of crime, but I appreciate everyone laying off their security teams, and putting all their most valuable data in one place, just in case I should change my mind…
I’m not going to change my mind, but it’s awfully considerate anyway.
I always knew cyber security was the next “learn to code”
Making room for the new tranche of H1B coming in I guess.
Nah, executive bonuses and whaleholder dividends needed to be higher.
H1Bs are payed 40-60 cents on the dollar while you can work them harder and they can’t whine or get sent home… So…it does help the bottom line.
