As a security practitioner, it is incumbent upon my kind to become a business enabler, and not an obstacle. There is an intelligent balance between appropriate security and business productivity that we must work towards. This involves a give-and-take culture be established. Information security must bring about awareness to the business masses with thoughtful solutions and enlightenment, not brute force controls coupled with psychologically tormenting tactics. We are all in this together. We share common goals and we share common vulnerabilities. This symbiotic relationship permeates the workplace, home-front, and home-land. A commitment must be made to each other to find vigilant equilibrium.
