"The group also acknowledges that executives and corporate directors should be involved in making companies' networks more secure." They were the ones insistent upon bringing in insecure software (a la Windows) to the detriment of more secure software (a la *nix) in a naive attempt to minimize costs. Business people are neither trained nor capable of making technical decisions; that's what they hire technical people to do. I can't remember working in a *nix shop where the admins weren't vehemently opposed to replacing *nix with the bean counters' and pointy heads' idea of a cheaper alternative. The result is what we have now; insecure networks, exploding support costs, and Windows based LANs "protected" by *nix firewalls. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
