I was watching a few Twitter conversations about purchasing security last week and had yet another conversation about security ROI. This has me thinking about what we spend money on. In many industries we can spend our way out of problems, not all problems, but a lot of problems. With security if I gave you a blank check and said “fix it”, you couldn’t.

This week I’ve been thinking about how security people and non security people interact. Various conversations I have often end up with someone suggesting everyone needs some sort of security responsibility. My suspicion is this will never work. First some background to think about. In any organization there are certain responsibilities everyone has. Without using security as our specific example just yet, let’s consider how a typical building functions.
