Ten Mistakes that CIOs consistently make that weaken enterprise security

LinuxSecurity.com: Perhaps you don't run an enterprise network. Chances are good that, you aren't a CIO either. But security is security, whether its through open source tools or not. And often the same patterns needed for enterprise security are still very relevant to all security. And, regardless, we couldn't pass up this hilarious yet true list of problems most organizations make when it comes to security. Very, very good. Here are the first two:

# Use process as a substitute for competence: The answer to every problem is almost always methodology, so you must focus savagely on CMMi and ITIL while not understanding the fact that hackers attack software.

# Ostritch Principle: Since you were so busy aligning with the business which really means that you are neither a real IT professional nor business professional, you have spent much of your time perfecting memorization of cliche phrases and nomenclature and hoping that the problem will go away if you ignore it.
