… group that continues to get more funding when they fail. We have all seen and living through when when security fails to follow up on risk exceptions to remediate known issue at Change. How many jobs were affected due to their failures. Now we’re told that security is #1 priority trumping any business initiative creating chaos and escalations. Everything is a nail and leaders from S.D has the hammer. When are we going to stop bleeding from this regime and start having leaders who think and add value to healthcare and employees to allow to do their jobs. I remember when Tech was enabler… When are we going to have leaders who work across their peers to reduce the problems our front line workers face day in/out. We are forced to compete with each other and fear rules tech. So many tech teams are territorial and no longer functioning. Sorry I am ranting but we need to stop funding groups who impact the company so badly. Maybe then more of us will not be laid off. I am sick of these good old boy/girl town halls talk B.S replaying failed strategies while we see our colleagues get laid off.

You people are so out of touch with reality
Many security leaders bar Milker should be cut! The amount of pushing people under the bus by those leaders that have only been there a few years is crazy. One leader in security engineer is ba----g a few of his directs. Bad karma.
ESRO mindset - If we turned off all prod systems with no replacements we would be beyond secure!
Security budget doesnt need to be cut, the people in charge now need to be removed and replaced with people who arent on vendors payroll and actually have a tech background.
Problem is they flag stuff as "vulnerabilities" that isnt actionable with the level of access we have, its just a copy and paste from a scanner they paid for and dont understand its findings in the context of Optum. Youll bring this up to them and they have no answers, but that doesnt stop them from escalating all the way up the chain against you for non compliance!
"My favorite is when they hit you with critical violations but then there is no workaround for the thing theyre flagging you on. Or when they mandate you to switch to a new IT component they made that explodes in prod and isnt tested (Network perimeter anyone?)"
Are you really complaining about security teams stopping end users from using stuff with so many vulnerabilities?
Let the security team actually be security and stop vulnerabilities from being present. Doofuses.
I mean, do yall have any better security ideas? ESRO is the reason the change incident wasn't substantially broader.
Cutting the security budget sure would be a great way to do even less with less already..
Esro is staffed my mall cops.
yep....I think our new corporate mantra should be,..
'We'll have your organization running as well as ours in no time'....
and somehow managed to make unusable
This is a hallmark of any Optum engineered solution.
Yup! Funny how every "solution" coming from the ESRO team is just a thinly disguised SaaS product that they slapped an Optum sticker on and somehow managed to make unusable.
