Last week our readers swooped in with their contributions to our Top 11 list, "Top 11 Reasons Batman would make a poor InfoSec Manager." But not everyone thought that the Caped Crusader would do a shoddy job protecting critical corporate data. Reader Matt Duda assumed the mantle of the Dark Knight's defender and sent in his own Top 10 list as to why he thought Batman would do a great job! So in the interest of fairness, we present Matt's list to you.

Top 10 Reasons Batman Would Be an Excellent InfoSec Manager

10. Always leaves the bad guys hanging from a post (easy for executives to see and understand the threat).

9. Strikes fear in the hearts of bad men everywhere.

8. Will ALWAYS have the right tool handy in that utility belt.

7. Not susceptible to Kryptonite.

6. Holey firewalls, Batman?

5. The Bat cowl beats a tie.

4. It pretty much takes a caped crusader to keep up on all the threats these days.

3. The Bat cave is far cooler than any datacenter. How many of your serves answer verbal questions with exhaustive data from every known and unknown source in less than 2 seconds?

2. The Dark Knight routinely works all night.

1. The Batmobile in the executive lot beats a Porche any day.

Thanks again Matt. (Hmm, I wonder how Wolverine would do at protecting data. You know what? Never mind.)
