I'm always amused by how naive some IT people are about the agendas of various groups within the IT ecosystem.
I think it's because IT people have a natural inclination to think of the problem from a technical perspective--and thus think of the problem as one of (as Mr. Spock would say) "pure logic". Well, if you look at the large cost inefficiencies in IT, you can see how individual risks are being mitigated while Enterprise risk is sometimes increased--there are always these amazing and expensive large scale IT failures within which individual CYA (Cover Your umm Butt) behavior contributed significantly to raising the risk for the whole shooting match. In any event, I'm always amazed when internal IT people dont realize that their jobs are likely to be wholesale outsourced to big IT services companies/vendors and how little they understand the need to fight back. My 2 cents, Miko
