Establish authority as soon as possible

Security is an executive-level issue, so you must be in position to influence everyone else in the organization. I’ve wasted far too much time on back-and-forth discussions about why something must be done this way, and not other way around, because I was not given enough authority. Without it, I had to escalate matters up through many ranks.

If you establish your authority as early as possible, you’ll save yourself lots of anxiety and frustration. Fighting with management will suck out your soul after a few years, and I don’t want you to burn out fighting unnecessary battles.

Simply said, you need to be in power on a management level to make a difference and be productive. If you’re on the lowest rungs of an organization chart, you’ll have a hard time working with non-security-aware management, who tend to see security just as something that slows down the development process—and their prime objective is shipping working product out on time.
