Unfortunately, there are people out there (with a seemingly large overlap with CEOs) that have incredibly fragile egos, and any perceived criticism (such as pointing out a dreadful security failure) can result in lies, excessive reactions, defensiveness, denial, insults, scapegoating or even retaliation. Or all of the above.

In situations like this, it feels to me like the reaction is “how dare you think that I would need your help?!”
