A significant contributing factor is that most executives don't get technology. Security is a small and specialized type of technology. At best, it is seen as a type of insurance premium for doing business. Usually, security is looked at as an arcane, pure cost that can be minimized.
Social engineering is still the best kind of fraud. Con men look for insiders that they can trick or buy to get access to what they want. I think these sophisticated electronic and software defenses are really ignoring the best attacks. The biggest reason is because they are cheaper.
Oh aye. Why bother to treat your employees well enough that the thought of them turning against you would be met with revulsion and negation? Much easier and better and cheaper to treat them as fungible.
Sadly true. It is just one further example of the breakdown of trust between employees and employer that has been accelerating for the past couple of decades. The problem is that money is a poor motivator for good performance, so the slide is a self propagating mess.
