Re: security not a big priority?

[Aman Raheja <araheja () techquotes com>]

I haven't read what each person suggested, though I am sure there are
some great suggestions.
My suggestion is that if you want to be noticed, taken seriously, on
what you want to do, CRUNCH numbers and show them that if the
vulnerabilities discovered are exploited, what kind of damage is
possible. Management understands numbers, not vulnerability details.
Good Luck !
