For the last nearly 23 years of running a cybersecurity company, one thing has remained consistent and that is that IT staff, sys admins, network admins, love to hate security personnel. I say this because of the countless times we have been hired by companies to provide a security service only to be met with a line of defence stronger than the Chicago Bears had back in 1985. It is like there are two opposite forces at play within the same organization. Management recognizes
