That is the exact attitude of "Perfect Security".  If you have a small 10
person shop your not going to purchase a big identity management solution.
Your going to spend a couple of hundred dollars to train you and your people
how to create and use strong passwords effectively.

EVERYONE in the industry must remember that ROI and TCO are king and queen.
If you can't justify the expenditure for the protection, then it's not
working.

The only exception to this rule is that everyone must take those basic
minimum steps to protect the systems under their control.  Such as,
firewalls, anti-virus, and updates.

I do a lot of work with the "Forgotten Market" of Small and Medium Business.
At this level ROI and TCO are critical to the success of the plan.  Smaller
companies don't have the capital to waste and recover from other areas like
the large enterprises do.

Hi All,

the point that i wanna make is "just make it simple".if i can work with what
i got.
why i have to invest???? .

if no tool provides 100% security.why not invest little money in Awareness
program.
policy design and specially restrict user for unnecessary applications.

thank you all for your valuable comments
