This must be your first security job, right? ;-) All joking aside, this is very common, especially in government jobs, based on my experience. It's a tough road to ride down and I recommend documenting all of your efforts for future reference and being as supportive as possible while not creating a problem between you and the people you work with. Good luck. Thanks, Josh Miller, RHCE
Actually no. this is my second. I used to be a security admin at a private company. Now it's at a public college and it's way different. At the old place I had the final say in everything. My boss was 100% behind me and management even the president trusted me. So whatever I said, was pretty much what went on. So picture that. Coming from a place where I had full say to a place where I have almost no say. is a big change. yea, I'll just keep working on documenting and trying to show them how important security is. -- If you think technology can solve your security problems, then you don't understand the problems and you don't understand the technology.
