  1. I cannot overstate how bad this is, and at the same time demonstrates how vulnerable our systems are. Too many organizations are trusting thier security to vendors and there is way too cozy a relationship between government contracts and our tech system security.

    1. A lot of the reason for the outsourcing, in my opinion, is because our best tech talent can command the greatest compensation in the private sector.
