Cosmetic Security

For some, computer security is an afterthought or a roadblock that lacks a monetary return on investment.  Cosmetic Security is simply an organization's pathetic approach to an impermanent fixture for unforeseen abnormalities or anomalies in their IT security support structure.....its like putting a band-aide on a wound that should be treated with stitches.  If you refuse to proceed with caution, fail to respect the situation, it will eventually spread with infectious diseases and affect other parts of your vital organs.  Likewise, if organization's fail to do their due diligence and take care of issues before they turn into real problems it could eventually have an adverse affect on their overall IT infrastructure.  It is up to security experts to help senior management realize the importance of security and it's overall return on investment.  Otherwise, if management doesn't care than why should any of we?
