Security is a cost center with no output and no drawbacks when you cut it (as the business people see it). So it is often quickly underfunded til some major incident.

That's really strange, isn't it? Because it only takes one major incident for a company to go entirely out of business in many cases. Or for CEOs to get ousted or step down, as in the Ashley case, or any number of other irreversible catastrophes. It would seem to me security should be the most important part of the entire process.
