Unless IT Security is a core element of someone's job, it is not necessarily considered their on-going development needs.

There is no cure for stupidity or genuine human error, but you can educate your workforce to help them make the right decisions and avoid unnecessary mistakes. What are you doing to make sure your workforce is security aware?
