How F*****d Am I Security Engineer

how f****d am I? Career Questions & Discussion I've just started as a security engineer at a large organization. After 2 weeks I've realised that they: • Outsource 80% of IT. • Have NTLMv1 enabled on all Windows devices • Have SMBv1 enabled on unpatched domain controllers. • Have many Windows 2000/XP/2003/2008 devices on a flat network. • Use symantec for AV. • Lots of vulnerabilities like spectre, eternal blue, log4j, proxy shell. Am I f****d?

A security engineer discovers that their new organization outsources most of its IT, runs obsolete Windows systems and insecure protocols, and has numerous known vulnerabilities. The punchline is the realization that the job is a cybersecurity nightmare, making the opening and closing question an anxious reaction to an obviously disastrous environment.
