Abstract/Summary: A common challenge in organizations is keeping security first and foremost in the minds of the business. Staying within CAPEX and / or OPEX budgets is always the first pushback that stalls or even eliminates security-focused initiatives in many organizations. The ever-increasing need for talent who can focus on cybersecurity within today's business environments is often left to departments who have no tangible connectivity to IT and therefore no vested interest in sustaining such initiatives.
