My own perspective is this---
Internal security is just *different.* This is one of the reasons for the
firewall. If a company didn't have a firewall, I am still convinced that
they would be at *far greater* risk to external rather than internal
threats. But that doesn't address the following i
of
course; mostly because they don't think they need a re-education I guess.
My two cents.

Well, depending on the issue, that may be a valid
answer, particularly when qualified w/ other security
mechanisms.

The response I received from a DBA when I forwarded an
