Quit your job...

... and they will hire immediately hire someone who will do what you refused to do, and usually worse. Did you check how many of your colleagues really understand security, and its broader implications on everybody's life?

Sometimes the only resistance is to work "secretly" behind the lines and fight for security, even if it means to slip it in products and services without management approval for funds. Especially if projects are your ones, and not just someone's else pushed down your throat. Meanwhile "evangelizing" about true security although many won't listen - until they got hit. If you are able, slowly you can get rid of the worst ones, and keep the right ones.

Meanwhile, look for a new better job if you can find one. Because, as an Italian proverb says "he cut his own testicles to upset his wife" - is not usually a good line of action. Sometimes waiting for some corpse coming down the river is funny. Just ensure the corpse is not yours, and no one could blame you for the murder. Cynic? Maybe. But is emulating Don Quixote clever? Sometime people learn only when their buttocks get aflame, and it may take some time.
