The Heart of Thanksgiving: Appreciating Your Security Team

As we gather around the Thanksgiving table, sharing stories and expressing gratitude, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the unsung heroes within your organizations—your security team.

Much like the heart that keeps our bodies alive, your security team is the lifeblood of your organization, ensuring every aspect of culture, work, and people remains safe and compliant.

The Overlooked Hero

Security often stands in the shadows, perceived by senior leadership and finance as a cost center rather than a fundamental pillar of the organization. This perception overlooks the tremendous responsibility security holds. Security is tacks with keeping the organization running smoothly, safeguarding data, and ensuring compliance with ever-evolving regulations. Yet, despite its critical role, security often receives less budget and fewer resources compared to revenue-generating functions like sales. It’s akin to giving a superhero great responsibility but not enough power to save the day. It’s truly a marvel that they manage to achieve so much with so little.

Not All Heroes Wear Capes

While security may not directly generate revenue, it plays a crucial role in financial stewardship. By leveraging information and tools, security teams can help organizations save money and allocate resources more effectively.

A Time for Gratitude

This Thanksgiving let’s extend our gratitude to the security team members who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Their efforts ensure that our organizations remain safe, compliant, and resilient.

As we give thanks for the blessings in our personal lives, let’s also appreciate the professional guardians who protect our workplaces and keep our warfighters safe.

Remember, Not all heroes wear capes—some work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep us safe, including keeping warfighters safe!

May your Thanksgiving be filled with joy, gratitude, and a renewed appreciation for the often-overlooked heroes of your organization—Your Security Team!
