Re: This is exactly the standard of government computing
I have been in IT consulting for 25+ years. I have worked at Fortune 50 companies, mom-n-pop companies, several different State's agencies and the Federal government. Other than the scale they operate at I have seen no difference between government and private IT. They are all generally poorly managed by people who do not understand security at all & many with only rudimentary understandings of IT. Once the organization is sufficiently large enough shit happens a lot more often and is dealt with a lot less efficiently.
