What do you dislike about Security testing?

Still many people believe that they don't need for their businesses or Organisation until they get a set back. The organisation who is opting the security testing has not implemented successfully as a part of their work culture. Sometimes it becomes very challenging to make understand other departments like development, DB etc how this could be vulnerable. Because of lack of security awareness. Some people hacking is a magic which can be done in a second by typing some commands and hit Enter. Cybersecurity itself has very large coverage, one can't be a expert in everything.
