Have you thought about the fact that a lack of security within your enterprise can mean your job? Well, don't despair; you may not realize it,
but DB2 DBAs have the power to help organizations change. Let's strategize....quietly...together (ssshhhh it's a secret).

This isn't a technical post, nor is specific to DB2. Regardless, this is one of the most
important blog posts I am likely to write. I hope you will read it and be empowered. It actually consists of only 3 very simple concepts.
Concept # 1: Your continued employment may be in jeopardy. If your company gets hit with a series of class
action lawsuits and/or huge fines and/or a lack of customer confidence that slows sales, do you
really think you're going to get that bonus you've been expecting? So if you follow the money, it is in your personal best interest
to help your company discover their responsibility to ADEQUATELY UNDERSTAND, IMPLEMENT and FUND a comprehensive security landscape.
Concept # 2: If you are a DBA, in addition to being close to all that priceless data, YOU are VERY valuable to your company. Think about how many times management comes to you
expecting answers. You are a LEAD "GO TO" Resource just because of your technical expertise, but you likely also have
a managerial side...the part of you that implements standards, creates schedules, coordinates maintenance and provides status.
Think about your last vacation. How many phone calls did you get while you were away?
Concept #3: You can be a change agent. You have management's ear. They listen to you. They seek out your advice on many topics.
YOU (yes YOU) can drive an interest in security. You CAN make a difference. You CAN protect your job by protecting your organization. Be an ENABLER.
