Removing centralized IT management comes with other issues, especially rampant email viruses in the org due to poor compliance with update and security policies.

The "security best practices" are a cargo cult exercise that just lulls organizations into believing they're protected against motivated actors, when instead they're just enforcing a group policy on a good day.
