I doubt it's just "Stupid MBA's and military 'intelligence'"...

We live in a post Snowden world. It only takes one mistake to have all your data out in the wild.

I think attributing changes away from trusting employees to simply "bad management" and ignoring issues like employee malfeasance... is overly simplistic and dilutes complicated issue conversations.

There needs to be a balance between trust and security. It's easy to take it too far in either direction.

Different kinds of trust. Trust that you will get the work done properly vs trust that you will not steal or expose critical business data.
