Many times in my life someone tried to tell me something that I disregarded as wrong or misguided, only to (years! decades!) later realize the that they were right in ways I just couldn't understand yet.
I suspect (and hope) this will continue for as long as I remain introspective and willing to learn and grow.
I feel like this is one of those things that only time and the perspective it adds can teach you.
I agree whole-heartedly. I’ve wasted many hours in security committee meetings. But then a CVE was discovered and we were able to respond in minutes. Earned our compensation 10x over with that preparedness, even if a lot of being prepared looked like downtime.
I‘m not sure if that’s the scenario OP describing.
In my experience, that would be a company that spends hours in security committee meetings and then fails to react appropriately in an actual emergency.
