Lyrics
Pager says Code Red again Incident Response commence CISO doesn’t have a clue No idea what to do
Every day I try to survive The lack of updates despite my cries Feel’s like we’re set up to fail With the new boss they just unveiled
He designed our security plan though he’s fallen for every scam Writes backups straight to tape drive His password is 12345
Pager says Code Red again Incident Response commence CISO doesn’t have a clue No idea what to do
Infiltrator, where are you? Maybe someone let you through Our CISO is AFK But I’ll find you anyway
AFK AFK
No Idea No Idea
All of the software we use is cracked CISO’s mobile phone has been hacked We overheard him saying recently 2FA is to slow for me
Urgent message from the CEO Doesn’t verify the sender though Disables Gatekeeper as he’s told Now all his secrets have been sold
Pager says Code Red again Incident Response commence CISO doesn’t have a clue No idea what to do
Infiltrator, where are you? Maybe someone let you through Our CISO is AFK But I’ll find you anyway
AFK AFK
No Idea No Idea
Now we all have to worry about his unsafe ways So we all show up early To install fresh updates
He never seems to notice That anything has changed He is completely clueless My CISO’s AFK
Pager says Code Red again CISO doesn’t have a clue No idea what to do
