Network security has been getting a lot more attention lately due to the news media reporting on Viruses, network attacks, and hackers. I even heard the term "scriptkiddy" on the National News recently. That makes it a little easier for Security Professionals to get managers to give us some time and resources to do our jobs, but the high cost of securing a Network may drive managers to look for ways to outsource Network Security instead of using available resources. In most instances, readily available tools can be acquired with little or no cost to enable a security professional to do an effective job of securing a network without spending the entire IT budget. Most businesses allow 2-3% of their budget for IT cost, and that has to include security. If you can give the business a secure network without breaking the IT budget, then MAYBE their will be more left for raises-but don't bet on it.
