FIRST 2016 - Innovation

Today's keynote at the FIRST conference discussed the importance of innovation in security products and services. Not everyone is a fan of such things.

_______

Innovation, you say?
It's easy to say.
Harder to do when you're spending your day
Fighting the fires and calling out liars
And answering calls from your C-level criers.
We barely have time to kick all the tires
On products we buy
Whenever we try
To solve all our problems
When the budget is high.
(Sometime we barely can even ask why.)
Often we're choosin'
Tools that are proven
By peers who have shown
That they're really worth usin'
And are ones that risk management ain't refusing.
We'd like something new,
Innovation that's true,
But it's rare that it's something we'd purposely do.
Radical changes we often eschew.
Innovation is something, I guess, that we fear.
It's something, I'd say, you'll never find here.
