Infosec pros aren't afraid to cry wolf

Look left when everyone looks right and say no when everyone says yes. Then, ask why? You're in the position as a security professional to tell the bosses no; that's what you're paid for. Don't be afraid to cry wolf when something is out of the ordinary, and do it often. It may not be itthis time, but sooner or later, it will be for real and will then look better on you than the incident that slipped by and you not calling it out.

I just wanted to share these thoughts in addition to a little story from a mailing list LonerVamp posted.
