It is important to remember that the Department of Defense it the largest organization in the free world. It will never get an A+ at anything it does, except maybe killing people. Computer security, network security, operational security and all the other security disciplines have a weak link, humans. Get rid of the weakest link and you get rid of the problem, not in our lifetime.
