I am a Mac user at home. I use windows for work, like most of us. But I keep reading all these articles and thinking, “Boy, I sure hope my company’s IT Dept. is on top of this.”

Everyone in IT wants to be ahead of the curve but we wind up being reactionary because if it ain't broke don't fix it...but it will break if we don't do this...is it broken now...no but it will be...so it's not broken we are good to go.

I'm on top of things when I have the time to be informed at work. I'm not doing all research after hours and might not always have time for it at work, so sometimes we too are rather reactionary.
