You have my sympathy. It’s been my observation , in government anyway, that the primary focus of “computer security” is not on securing the computers from intruders, but rather on securing management’s @sses from culpability if and when the intrusions occur.

Let me put it this way. We have very thorough documentation on our procedures and the security flaws which exist. Fixing them, not so much. It would cause a work disruption and lead to customer complaints about service outages.
