Things like this seem to indicate an almost complete lack of competence in regards to security and breach response. Can Marriott not afford to hire one full-time, experienced, competent person to oversee security policy? Of course they can. But it seems that they haven't, because someone who's job it is to oversee security policy should certainly be right in the middle of Marriot's response process, and should have caught something like this.
I'm not saying there are no competent people doing security at Marriott. If you work at Marriott doing security work, I'm not trying to attack you; this kind of thing is not one person's fault (unless it really, really, really is, and not even then, because the other people in the organization shouldn't have allowed such a single-point-of-failure). But really.. it's just abysmal.
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoThe top two items in the MBA handbook is firstly to keep personnel count as low as possible (because the few left are more "productive" somehow) and secondly to shrink any IT department to the bare minimum (it's a cost center, no good comes from a cost center).
