How do you define "firing"?

I recently had a situation where I was told I would not be completing my probation period because I detected a data breach (in not so many words)... then the person who did that (CIO) was themselves removed from their position.

So now they have to hunt for a new CIO and I have to hunt for a new role.

Womp womp.

Be bold. Apply for the CIO position.

Good question. I'm intentionally leaving it vague to see what people come up with.

Also, I've seen what you are describing a few times. Usually happens in companies with certain financial incentives to hide "problems"

		Yeah, I hoped someone would show up looking for a hacker in the "I wrote a SIEM rule so good it got me fired" sense, but life isn't a television show and there are rarely happy endings for good deeds. (It wasn't a business -- that's what makes it worse. I can choose not to give someone money, but I can't refuse to transact with "The State", so any security issues are compounded.)
