For those of you in the security industry for five years and more, you\u2019ll remember the days when security was an afterthought. As security tadpoles, we had to fight for our fair share of the IT budget, and in many cases, security was deprioritized over some other initiative. That fight has evolved somewhat;\u00a0in fact,\u00a0we\u2019re winning many more fights due to the recent high-profile, sophisticated breaches in the news.
