Incident response Memes

The security industry in a nutshell, folks. You hire "analysts" who confirm they're analysts, confirm they get paid to analyze, but when they actually find something—like a Log4j vulnerability that needs immediate patching—management's response is "Nah, P0 incident? That's an EOD problem." Nothing quite like hiring security experts only to ignore their expertise when it requires actual work. The classic corporate cycle: pay for security, ignore security recommendations, wonder why you got breached. Then blame the security team who warned you six months ago. For the uninitiated, Log4j was that delightful little vulnerability from 2021 that had security teams working through Christmas while executives were sipping eggnog and asking "can't we just deal with it after the holidays?"
