Security and its many disciplines are tough jobs. You're usually an overhead function, which means constant budget pressure, especially if you don't have a clear risk management process/plan. Security leaders have a difficult time navigating what the relationship with the board should be (and thier responsibilties), leaving the security team in ambiguous states of responsibility - a bad place ot be in a breach. Every company today is tehcnolgy driven, and tech adoption and operationalization is often the lynchpin of competitive edge... agile security is hard and can drag the business in it's goals.
I think there's some organizational coaching work, better leadership around roles and repsonsibilties, and better technical approaches that could change the climate for the security proffessional.
