Critical factors

Security and reliability being "critical factors" doesn't by any means imply that they're being treated seriously or that all reasonable steps are being taken to assure these "critical factors".

If the CFO of a big corporation says they're resigning because they "No longer have confidence that the company's reported financial position matches reality" the markets tank, key stockholders demand answers, the board will be obliged to make a statement (even if it only reinforces the doubt created by the CFO). But if their key security person, who may not even report directly into the board, but only to some VP or executive somewhere in the pyramid, reports that they're resigning because they've lost all confidence in the security precautions it passes almost without comment, indeed it may not even be reported in the financial press.

Security _Theatre_ is important to big corporations. Smart security guard uniforms, branded login warnings, frequent messages reminding all employees that security comes first (to be followed by messages saying the customer comes first, quality comes first, and safety comes first ...) these things are important, but actual security is at best an afterthought. If you thought individual humans were affected by the Dancing Pigs problem, you'll be amazed by how much it impacts a big corporation.
