sͧb̴ͫƸ̴gͬᵉ<p>One fantastic privilige I’ve had in my career, is how everyone I was ever tasked with providing <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> for, was morally deserving of it in a to me non-convoluted and ethically clear way. </p><p>One can argue about the finance industry, and I suppose defense as well, but given the specifics of what I worked for there, it was The Good Fight.</p><p>But now, with fascism and authoritarianism on the rise, I wonder if it will be as easy for my guild colleagues to find a righteous path. </p><p>Working for Meta, Musk, Microsoft, Google et.al, not to mention any data analytics firms, it seems so *evil*. Morally bankrupt people, using the excuse of avoiding personal fiscal bankruptcy. </p><p>Working for the govt in any country where fascism has taken hold, same thing - reprehensible at best, crime against humanity most likely.</p><p>But that’s where the security jobs will be, because those are the only ones that will be allowed to _have_ any security - everyone else will have it stripped away by law and by force.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/integrity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>integrity</span></a>, <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/safety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>safety</span></a> - it will be ripped away, and sadly I fear it will be my <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> guildies who will help design the tools and the trappings for the job.</p><p>There will be some engineer designing the new age control mechanisms, just as there are cadres of stormtroopers at the aforementioned places already having built Evil Things.</p><p>What happens when the only ones who can demand security, aren’t deserving of it? What will a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CISO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CISO</span></a> do then?</p><p>Or rather, what will those who stay do? I won’t have to.</p>
