Have you developed a "security plan"? Your Disaster Recovery Team has a recovery plan. Your Auditor has an audit plan. Your CFO has a business plan. If you're only fighting security "fires" -- that's all you'll ever do. If you want to begin approaching security issues pro-actively, you've got to develop a security plan that will help you project resource needs, for example:
The buyout of another institution and the assimilation of its assets;
Anticipated changes in regulations or technology;
Initiating a thumbprint signature program;
The conversion from one software/hardware platform to another one; and
Personnel protection as a result of a domestic/workplace violence event.
