The piece addresses the problems that arise when companies misplace trust in people -- employees, customers, partners, vendors, etc. The truth is, they're all crooks!
Not really, or at least not according to Ed Adams, CEO of Security Innovation and author of the column. But Adams says enterprises should make no assumptions regarding either the trustworthiness or security awareness of people with enterprise access, or the security inherent in their enterprise applications.
