<p>That's a long and really interesting read, thanks for sharing!</p>
<p>As a private user / SME part-time admin I'm probably not really
part of the primary target group, but especially the conclusion
and recommendation sections give a lot of thought for improving
our own setup.</p>

</p>
<p>Reaching out to the managers instead of only the technical folks
to improve general security awareness is certainly the right
direction, but my hopes for measurable improvements are low.
Influencing in these areas mostly works top-down, with the
possible exception of publications read and respected by the
decision makers. Perhaps these magazines could be utilized to
heighten awareness by publishing manager-level articles that don't
just boil down to product recommendations but action plans for
their IT departments?</p>
