I disagree. Managers are hired for management, hire security people to do the hands on security work. I’ve worked in IT since my Navy days, since ‘82. Hire people for the jobs they are to do. She was not hired to set up a firewall, she was hired to build a team of experts to do the work.
BS. The could have walked all over her and tell her a pile of shit was roses. She didn’t even know the right questions to ask. Total incompetence. It really isn’t her fault. Her ego got her the job. Probably all of her jobs and she was lucky up to the point until she wasn’t.
How would she know where to start, when building a set of technical requirements needed to assemble a team of experts?
Bet it was an affirmative action hire....
She may not have been hired to set up a firewall but she should know what one is, how it works and what it does and doesn’t do.
