If all you did there was security, then you were in a bad position to begin with. Security should be a part of everything that is done, not handled simply by one person somewhere.
Network engineer - The person or persons responsible for designing, managing, and maintaining the enterprise network should be the ones responsible for its security through all aspects of their work. Security has to be designed in to begin with, so that the network has the absolute minimum exposure and still provides a maximum
Security as everyone's job is an admirable idea, and one that I'd love to see implemented everywhere. My experience, though, as a security analyst myself has been that if security gets in the way of a project, then there won't be any security unless someone insists.
I've had that same experience myself. But that clearly indicates that security is not being considered properly by everyone involved. If you happen to be in a project like that, a good "risk exposure analysis" would be a good thing to have. But for manager types, it will need to be expressed in terms of dollars lost vs. saved.
Promptness is its own reward, if one lives by the clock instead of the sword.
