@scottaltiparmak: 🚨 A lot of people in security, especially at entry level, get really demoralized when they can’t fix something. That’s normal. But sometimes it just can’t be done. No budget, or whatever the reason might be. When that happens: note the risk, escalate it and move on. Don’t let it eat at your mental health. I see so many people feel upset or worthless because of gaps left that they individually can’t fix. It doesn’t make the rest of your work worthless. Third-party risk makes this even harder. A lot of the time we have to trust their attestations, pentest reports and audits, and hope they’re doing what they say. Which they never are… Are there controls to reduce that risk? Of course, applying all the fundamentals so you can respond quickly to anything suspicious. But as an individual employee, you can’t let these risks keep you up at night. Stick to the basics, document what you can’t fix, and move on. #cybersecurity #infosec
