THIS IS MY NETWORK.
THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT, BUT THIS ONE IS MINE.
MY NETWORK IS MY BEST FRIEND. IT IS MY LIFE.
MY NETWORK WITHOUT ME IS USELESS. WITHOUT MY NETWORK, I AM USELESS.
I MUST SUBNET MY NETWORK TRUE.
I MUST PATCH FASTER THAN MY ENEMY WHO IS TRYING TO HACK ME.
I MUST DETECT AND CONTAIN HIM BEFORE HE BREACHES ME. I WILL….
MY NETWORK AND MYSELF KNOW THAT WHAT COUNTS IN IT IS NOT THE BANDWIDTH WE PROVIDE,
THE LOW LATENCY WE ENJOY, NOR THE UPTIME WE MAINTAIN.
WE KNOW IT IS THE SECURITY THAT COUNTS. WE WILL LOCK DOWN…
MY NETWORK IS HUMAN, EVEN AS I, BECAUSE IT IS MY LIFE.
THUS, I WILL LEARN IT AS A BROTHER.
I WILL LEARN ITS WEAKNESSES, ITS STRENGTHS, ITS PARTS, ITS ACCESSORIES, ITS SWITCHES, AND ITS ROUTERS.
I WILL EVER GUARD IT AGAINST THE RAVAGES OF UPPER MANAGEMENT AND USERS.
I WILL KEEP MY NETWORK UPDATED AND EFFICIENT, EVEN AS I AM UPDATED AND EFFICIENT.
WE WILL BECOME PART OF EACH OTHER. WE WILL….
BEFORE GOD I SWEAR THIS CREED.
MY NETWORK AND MYSELF ARE THE DEFENDERS OF MY IT DEPARTMENT.
WE ARE THE MASTERS OF OUR USERS.
WE ARE THE SAVIORS OF OUR UPPER MANAGEMENT.
SO BE IT, UNTIL THERE ARE NO VULNERABILITIES, BUT FUNDING!
