Re: [Non-DoD Source] Re: Security Wonks ate my hamster.

Bureaucracies almost always end up doing the exact opposite of their reason for existence.

So over time, you will find that employees can't do their work but everyone will know easy ways to hack into the environment. On paper though processes are in place, everything is "secure" but in reality that's not the case. If IT staff from networks, workstation support or other IT sections dare point this out they will be ignored and will be considered "disruptive" by middle management layers.

e.g. from just yesterday, 20% of employees are willing to sell their e-mail password for cash.

Bureaucracies can't deal with this.
