Incompetence runs through every facet of American government, corporations and even private businesses. There's an insane amount of bureaucracy and people doing IT who have no business doing IT. As for the corporations, the established ones get taken over by the MBA types who have no clue about software or security nor do they care as long as the numbers look good for the next quarter.

I'd bet dollars to donuts that firms run by professional managers almost certainly have better security practices than family or founder run firms. I say this because research shows that professionally managed firms excel in virtually every other facet of operations and management[1].

Although I do not disagree with your comment, I would do a double take befpre accepting the source you cite because they are very much incentived to proclaim the result they proclaim.

Professionally managed versus family managed. Not surprising, both are not quite related to the technical matter being discussed.
