Equifax breach: Chief Security Officer Susan Mauldin sacked

everyone - even SJWs - are saying her being on the board was heinously inappropriate. she set women in tech back an untold amount of time.

but don't worry. as an executive, she'll get a golden parachute to ensure she never has to work again. which might be for the best. keep her the fuck out of any company for the rest of time.

But >>62459852 was more a criticism of the general populace than "Drumpf" or Equifax CSO. You completely missed the point.

>>62460112
No, I didn't. Elections are entirely different than being hired by a company. One is the general populace choosing an official representative, which does not require any particular expertise, to push for their interests. And the other is being selected from a pool of applicants by the management of a corporation to perform a specific function that requires a specific set of skills and knowledge acquired through experience and education.

Like I said, it's an obsession.

>>62460050
its's an example of incompetence, just on a bigger scale to give retards like you a better understanding but i forgot that is impossible on an amerifat board, my fucking bad.

trump got his wealth because he inherited it, he became president because people don't care about facts or competence and he is doing a shit job.

this women got a useless degree which has no real world (capitalist) value, she got job positions which there should be more qualified people for. she did a shit job.

competence is irrelevant in todays world, yet you all act surprised when shit like this comes out.

>>62459692

>>62460185
>it's an example of incompetence
Trump being elected isn't an example of incompetence. It's an example of a protest vote. So far, nothing has happened besides increasing deportation, staring at the sun, and leaving the Paris accords.

>trump got his wealth because he inherited it
This is somehow relevant to the equifax breach. Do you think the CTO inherited her position?

>he became president because people don't care about facts or competence and he is doing a shit job
He's literally done nothing yet. The only thing you could point to is the Paris accords.

>his women got a useless degree which has no real world (capitalist) value, she got job positions which there should be more qualified people for. she did a shit job.
It's almost like elected officials are chosen based on their policy proposals and persona, not on skill sets or knowledge. You know, the exact opposite of what you base hiring people on. Making the entire comparison retarded.

That's a real cool anecdote friend but maybe that just means you're in the music industry and have no formal experience with software development?

If she had experience to show why didn't she show it? Job experience and even certifications can be useful information.

Don't let Equifax use her as a scapegoat for all of their incompetence. She may be partly to blame but the management that appointed her to that position are the ones that are ultimately at fault here.

I don't see the problem. Here in the UK, for many years the Chancellor of the Exchequer in charge of all the finance had a degree in Art History.

The degree is not the reason she was fired or hired, she was just the right person for the job. Well at least until the breach.

>>62466477
Who is Rustle?

>>62459147
lol, no dude. To be a practicing architect in the US you need to go through just as much physics and maths as an engineer. On top of that you need to pass 5 exams and obtain a masters in architecture. Then you need to work as an intern architect for 5 years.

All before becoming a practicing architect.

It's just as rigorous as becoming a doctor.

Civil engineers don't even need this much training.

BTW engineers give you shitty rectangular functional buildings and architects give you art.

does a CSO even need to know technical stuff?
I understand it isn't a good idea but this has to be down to more inability to manage because the core concepts of security aren't difficult and as long as you have someone else competent hiring people you should be fine.
She seems like she is just bad at managing in general, which would make you assume that when lawsuits get to discovery the employees complaints against her are going to make it 10x worse.

Speaking of lawsuits here's some advice
If you hear anything about class action lawsuits related to this just jump on board. You stand to make a few hundred or even a couple grand when Equifax inevitably loses the suit.

>>62458210
She sucks so hard.

>>62467596
If you applied for anything that uses credit like a loan you're probably affected. These companies are handed your information whenever you apply for a loan or a credit card or anything like that. They rate your trustworthiness so other companies know if you're worth giving a loan to or not.

The three large credit rating agencies are: Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian. They all have this information. There's also a number of smaller ones that aren't as well known

So when does she start in Reddit?

Because in some places the law requires for the structural project to be signed by an engineer to protect jobs. You don't need sophisticated professionals for most stuff that gets built since BIM software will do that for you. Ironically the only projects that absolutely require skilled engineers are the ones that they could never come up with by themselves.

All of his "humour" is either fart jokes or that particular brand of USA entertainment where he just makes observations from an extreme leftist, George-Carlinesque point of view and everyone in support goes "Wooooooo!" and cheers because they love having their own thoughts echoed back at them.
Even then I think he's terrible at propaganda. There are a metric fuckload of pro gay-rights episodes of Family Guy but always depict gays are limp wristed, fart catching, pride parading, lispy faggots who are always so needy and emotional that they need one of the main cast, usually Brian (who clearly represents Seth), to do anything for them. It further strengthens opposition to gays and he's too busy jerking himself off by 'raising awareness' to notice.
He has quite an aptitude for voice acting but beyond reading scripts he's a blight on humanity.

The BA in Music is less concerning than the MFA is. When a person goes beyond a BA, and further dedicates their life to studying a subject, you can be sure that exact subject is what they're interested in working in. At least a person with a BA in music composition, paired with a keen interest in computers, IT and programming would be an amazing asset to have for, say, Image-Line, EastWest Sounds or Ableton. In a company like that, I could totally see somebody with a music degree becoming anything from a developer to a product manager.

But when you a masters... it's hard to say "I also have other interests too!" Any company should have seen that masters and asked, "Are you going to leave this position to go compose music? Why else would you get so much education in that area?"

The BA should have limited where she could go in tech, the MFA should have sealed it.

She never did anything security related.
She attended meetings all day and read reports written by people who supervised people who supervised the people who kinda did security related stuff.
Her degree is meaningless as long as she knows how to win the right people over to climb the corporate ladder. That's everywhere

Well, if we're going to "think critically", if she wanted a career in finance and/or technology, why didn't she get her graduate degree in either of those areas, instead of in music again? Maybe a masters in CS? Maybe an MBA?

Technical knowledge isn't a requirement for a technical management position in non-technical companies, so it isn't surprising someone like her got the job. Companies like these look at computers as money-wasting burdens.

>>62458231
Because it's a non story that only lets some STEM students who have never held a job stroke their egos?
1. There are plenty of developers, sysadmins, etc. who do not have technical degrees. Even more true when you look at managerial/executive positions.
2. Any argument that she's "unqualified" is a fucking joke because it ignores her 15 years of work experience.

But I don't know how I'd feel with someone with a completely non-technical degree making technical decisions. At that point I think no degree would be better.

desu degree is not relevant to the issue
but the more I read the more I start to believe she was actually incompetent and completely unqualified like completely devoid of any other experience that would make up for the no formal degree

there is nothing wrong with having degrees in literature or music or sociology or linguistics and working in tech though

>>62460421

This.

She's a manager. I find it particularly hilarious that OP's image attacks her education specifically as if that matters AT ALL.

The best tech people I've worked with have had no degree, or a degree in an unrelated field. What matters is intelligence and experience. I don't know anything about her, but she may all kinds of experience in the field.

Listing someone's education and berated them for it is ridiculous. Especially on /g/, where most of you have, at most, done a few basic college programming exercises.

Many of the best software engineers I've worked with have been women. You know why? Because they just got their fucking work done and went home to their families.

*All* the retarded bullshit I've had to deal with with coworkers has been from guys. So much goddamn drama. Retarded, endless arguments based on poorly thought out, quasi-religious beliefs. Meanwhile, the women just got the task done quietly.

I've had several bad female managers. In particular, they seem to view any push-back as insurrection. But I've had mostly bad male managers, too. They're just a little less sensitive about supposed insurrection.

But holy fucking shit, if I had a dime for every time a male manager got his panties in a bunch because he couldn't differentiate between reasonable objection and emotion-based backstabbing, or every time some uber-nerd engineer acted like his shitty one-off throwaway project was some monument to engineering that would be revered by generations to come, I'd be a rich man.

I work as a technical consultant in my countries biggest IT-firm and the non-technical consultants are basically just people who talk with the customers and ask them what they want then push all the actual work onto the technical consultants who has to implement it. Most of the time they need a technical consultant to be in the same fucking meeting with the customers since they don't even know what they are "selling" or "implementing" so they are basically fucking useless.

I'm sure this music bachelor lady is the fucking same. Having a non-technical position in an IT company yet claiming you work in "IT" is such a fucking scam since you might as well be working in any other fucking business and still be doing the same shit.

>having people with no technical knowledge in lead positions within an IT-company

>>62473543
This.

Everyone in IT that do not have technical positions are fucking cancer.

>>62473543
Can confirm

It's even worse when these people continuously sell solutions that are outside of product specifications and your the one stuck trying to implement said solution.

Then nothing ever gets done about it because the whole management chain is full of people who don't actually understand the products and services we offer on a technical level.

do you know how I know there are too many failures and incompetent people running ANYTHING tech related for the last 15 years?
They say, "Store everything online"*
Then they said, "Use the cloud, its safe."
Until the late 90's early 00's the only way people kept things safe was keeping it from networks. People ran independent networks for sensitve data. IE: hospitals had their own network for patient care, tech firms wouldn't let you take work outside the office.
Battlestar Galactica survived the Cylon attack because they kept systems independent. Guess what, it applies right this moment more than anything. To keep your digital trap shut you isolate your critical systems.
Every good IT person I have met has said ANY system is hackable, every good locksmith I've met has said any lock is pickable. So how do you protect it? Isolating it as much as you can.
Generally people who have degrees outside the field their working in listen too much to advertising not enough to system development. Their system failed because they joined the WWW instead of continuing to run on the system that was secure until about 06 when they left the telecom network for the WWW, why? Because the cloud is safe, because there's redundancy, blah fucking blah. Because the people who aren't qualified don't verify legitimate risks.
Shareholders aren't specialists, they are the end consumer no different than the morons they are putting in places they don't belong because, quite simply, who you know not what you know. The lack of people skills in the IT worlds of the past worked well because it was based on what you know. Experts, real fucking experts, not dipshits who know industry terms, buzzwords, talking points. In an interview they use all of those tools to be a tool. Meanwhile the real people who know why those words don't mean dick get the shaft.

>tl;dr: people who know nothing about keeping their mouth shut get the job to keep data secured.

This to an extent.

If she got the BA and then ended up in some tech job because "lol job market" I could see her trudging up the ranks. Undergrads aren't critical for developing fields, IF your on-the-job experience is heavy (this happens often in military/tech fields). The cybersecurity domain wasn't nearly as structured as it is now, 20 to 30 years ago. It's a little more suspect when she got a grad degree in the same unrelated field, however. That seems to spell out that she got plucked from nowhere and put into management/supervisory roles.
