The 7 Top Management Errors that Lead to Computer Security Vulnerabilities（zt）

7: Pretend the problem will go away if they ignore it.
6: Authorize reactive, short-term fixes so problems re-emerge rapidly
5: Fail to realize how much money their information and organizational    
reputations are worth.
4:  Rely primarily on a firewall.
3: Fail to deal with the operational aspects of security: make a few fixes    
and then not allow the follow through necessary to ensure the    
problems stay fixed
2: Fail to understand the relationship of information security to the    
business problem -- they understand physical security but do not see    
the consequences of poor information security.
1:  Assign untrained people to maintain security and provide neither the    
training nor the time to make it possible to do the job.
