Only 5 more days until security budget increases are locked in!

Come Tuesday – election day – maybe you can finally get the money you richly deserve for your information security initiatives. It’s a new way of thinking – a new way of life for us here in the U.S. – something we information security professionals can adopt and integrate into our daily work.

Here’s the mindset of the Neue Regel…follow closely and you’ll get that budget increase you deserve:

1. First of all, we need an immediate increase in spending. We can dig into the budgets of the rich departments to pay it back later.
2. It’s time to be patriotic. Why not take money from someone else’s account and spend it on something for yourself instead? It not only shows patriotism but it really shows courage.
3. I think when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody. It helps ensure better security and don’t we all need more of that!?

Don’t worry…No one’s really going notice when you take their budget money and spend it the way you want. Most people are economically ignorant anyway.

Budget planning aside, hold on…here we go… Just 5 short days until the downhill slide of America as it was intended.
