Is it any wonder that security people are so misunderstood?

I just read a good article by Tim Mullen over at Security Focus, on the topic of why we as security people are misunderstood. When we do our jobs right, you never know about it. You only scream bloody murder when we don't.

My favorite quote from the article came at the end:

A final note to the CEO's out there-- if it isn't already, security will become the second most important thing to your company; right there behind the product that makes you your money. Remember always that Silence is Golden: if you want things to stay quiet, then give us your gold.
Amen.

"When we do our jobs right, you never know about it. You only scream bloody murder when we don't."

The same expression goes for many other jobs.
