Companies lay people off without severance all the time, mostly people who are PIPed out. Severance really only exists as an incentive to not sue them for wrongful termination, particularly if the job moves somewhere else that's lower-cost.
For your movies, TV series, photos, and music try the Plex Media Server. It has clients available for many platforms, it will index your media types and fetch metadata from online sources. It's a little particular about the file naming convention in order to match the metadata, but that's manageable.
Of the firms I've worked for, only the large ones (>$20B/yr) that depend heavily on IT had a dedicated in-house incident response team. Smaller shops ($5-20B) or those that rely less on IT would outsource it. Small enterprises with a 1-5 man security team probably have just a written plan that's never tested. Anything under $1B/yr in revenue probably doesn't have a security team at all unless they are an Internet-based company.
But the foolish design thing here was having the machine know the outcome of the ticket before it prints (or even at all).
By law, individual machines generally need to maintain a guaranteed payout rate. As a result, they need to know whether the player will win or not. When the numbers are computer-generated, then it can be exploited via software. If it's a roll of tickets it is distributing, then the roll is already configured with a specific payback rate.
In large companies ($1B+), you can expect that a Director's salary averages between $150-200K/yr. Officers will be between $200-300K/yr. But the real money is in the performance-based incentives. Directors generally get a 30% bonus and officers are 50% or more. Long-term incentives like restricted stock units (for public companies) are also straight up cash unless the stock is declining in value over the vesting period. All in all, total comp starts around $300K/yr and can hit $1M for companies whose stock is doing really well.
The thing I don't like about the public cloud is the real possibility for permanent vendor lock-in, IBM mainframe style.
What many people don't realize is that this is why OpenStack is so popular. As cloud providers "standardize" on the OpenStack platform and APIs (except for AWS, which doesn't do it because they are the 900 lb gorilla in the market), they become interchangeable by nature. The common denominator for compatibility is how your provisioning and migration engine interfaces with the cloud provider. And if you're based on the OpenStack API, then you can basically migrate or provision your workloads on any provider that supports that API - no lock-in. All you need to do is update DNS to point to your new hosting provider and you're in business.
Counterpoint: Even the best teams are not capable of making secure software.
Case in point, the NASA shuttle avionics system. CMMI level 5 certified software development program, track record of 2 Sev-1 defects per year during development.
Timeline Analysis and Lessons Learned (see page 7/slide 6)
You'll find that there were hundreds of unknown latent Sev-1 defects (potentially causing loss of payload and human life) and even ~150 defects 15 years after the program started.
The question isn't whether your team is capable or willing to fix the issue, you must acknowledge that there is nearly 100% certainty that there are unknown vulnerabilities in any software you write. The question goes back to whether a bug bounty program will ever cross the inflection point of a ROI chart.
The constitution simply defines the scope and authority of the federal government, and relationships between states as well as between state and federal government.. All powers not explicitly defined in the constitution as being federal are resigned to state jurisdiction. Constitutional amendments have added specific rights to address state and federal abuses.
The answer lies in quantifying the project impact, not in calling it low/medium/high (which is a subjective, relative term). Also, as business grows (or shrinks), the measurement of impact should be weighted as well. For example, a project that generates $1M/yr in revenue is a big deal when you're making $2M/yr, but not as much when you're making $20M/yr.
In the end, limited resources need to be focused on the area where it makes the most impact rather than trying to solve everyone's problems. That is exactly what IT management's job is.
The other answer is that no group/team/company does this really well, it comes down to individual manager's or IC's style and how you dismiss the trivial requests.
First things first. Is "company data" - email, contacts, files - accessible from your phone? If so, they have a vested interest in making sure that data is not compromised when your phone is lost or stolen. As a result, PIN/password requirements, encryption, antivirus, and remote wipe capabilities are generally required. In some cases where devices have a tunnel to the corporate network (Blackberry), they will possibly want to control what apps you install to prevent malicious ones from accessing the corporate network via your BES server.
Most laypeople don't have any clue about protecting company data on a regular basis, they just want their data instantly and aren't concerned with what happens in a worst-case scenario. "Oops, it got stolen. Guess I need to get the latest model now!"
Generally, rootkits will modify function pointers in the kernel so that typical detection activities are trapped and handled so that the system appears unaltered. In the case of file access, the original file (in an alternate location, data stream, etc.) can be accessed in place of the trojaned one that was loaded on boot, thus preserving original the file size and contents.
While entry-level programmers may make a slightly higher salary than a similar systems administrator, over time there's a lot more upward opportunity for the sysadmin. Systems Engineering and Systems Architecture - being the guy that ties the network, the server, and the apps together, is a very in-demand skill and is something programmers will never have the opportunity to become. Programmers only make the big bucks when they have other specialized knowledge that's specific to the apps they are developing, i.e. finance, GIS, physics, etc..
I'm personally glad I made the decision 12 years ago to move into systems after earning my Comp. Sci. degree. I went from web app development for an ISP to Linux/Solaris/HPUX sysadmin, to Systems Architecure, to Info Security.
I want a site that lets me coordinate with others to piss these types off, say, by getting together and driving in formation at exactly the speed limit, blocking the bastards.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why someone would willingly drive slowly in the left lane..
For years this boggled me as well, but then I figured it out. Many lazy drivers don't like to change lanes and they don't like other drivers merging in front of them. Perhaps it distracts them from their cell phones or whatever else, but people like to pick a lane and camp in it.
With the 6-10 lane mega-freeways, the traffic merging in and out of the freeway (from the right) cuts through the rightmost and middle lanes. Anyone who's in the leftmost lane doesn't have to "worry" about traffic merging into or through them.
It really doesn't matter how much information you disclose about the technical details or workarounds except in how long it will take to develop the exploit. Once an exploit writer knows there is a critical vuln in a particular area of the system, it's not that hard to narrow down the inputs required to exploit it. In particular, Metasploit makes this much easier to do by being able to see what memory offsets are in EIP when the process segfaults.
The only real impact is how many people will be able to write their own 0-day, and how quickly. Personally, I'd rather see more exploit development, since it proves a risk rather than making it theoretical (and likely only exploitable by the 31337).

I don't think I'd want to watch a video with such atrocious bitrates, even if it was SD.
Luckily, video streams generally use H.264 compression so your bandwidth usage is substantially lower than the bitrate going to your display.

Corporate use is inspection of traffic to detect security breaches, but Service Provider use is surveillance?
Use of wildcard certs is one thing, but BlueCoat technology isn't designed for surveillance any more than network analysis tools are.

That's fine, until someone wants to log in from a different computer where they don't have their private key available..

2) Gain competitive intelligence
3) Profit!

yeah, cause, you know, there aren't any client-side vulnerabilities for any Windows apps. All Windows attacks only target 135/139/445.
Is this a troll? Self-righteous prick? You be the judge.
If you're not passing someone (and you're not, if you're going 64) then don't drive in the leftmost lane. Period.

If you're getting 25 MPG, you're definitely not driving a regular SUV!
