Want better security? Be a pragmatist.

What does being a pragmatist have to do with improving the security posture of an organization?  I discuss that exact question in my latest SecurityWeek piece: http://www.securityweek.com/want-better-security-be-pragmatist.  If you are a pragmatist, have you ever felt alone, or perhaps even ridiculed in the security world?  You are far from alone.  Have a look at the piece to see what I mean by that.
