I work 4 nights a week 10-12 hours a night, which shows that Info Sec is a never ending battle unlike your usual 9-5 with a nice jog in the morning, coffee breaks every hour, and a nice 1.5 hour lunch break, and then time to go home and play with your dog. From the time I wake from my phone ringing at 6pm about some new threat to the time I leave at 9am it's non stop security mayhem and trying to stop the black hat type individuals. I think I do what I do because everything else is just so damn boring and too easy to figure out. Where would I start? 9-5 is a joke.

Activity requiring our attention is not constrained by time or geography. Just like fire departments, we must always be ready to respond to a digital false alarm, smoke, minor events or fully engulfed (infra)structures. Info Sec is a life, not a job.
