Sometimes I think the guys who know the most about security do the most damage. I have seen a couple of situations where a company would have made incremental changes to improve security, but the consultant presented a dooms-day recommendation that suggested that EVERYTHING was broke/bad/dangerous and it all had to be corrected IMMEDIATELY! In both cases they chose to do nothing.
