I’m considering transitioning into IT Sec but one of the things that gives me pause is the potential affect of a breach on the team or an individual. If you or your team missed something or implemented something incorrectly and is the direct cause of a major event, what are the ramifications? I’ve a hard time believing it wouldn’t be immediate termination regardless of how many years you’ve been a reliable, valued employee.

Thoughts?
