A large multinational company was about to undergo a full security
audit, and the CIO didn't want any surprises. He was looking for
advance warning of any problems that might be discovered in the formal
audit so he could be ready with a remediation plan.

The company, which employs more than 10,000 people, is responsible for
critical elements of physical infrastructures around the world and is
regularly targeted by a wide variety of bad guys, including terrorists
and foreign governments. The CIO believed the company had some
problems with physical security and end-user systems but thought he
had the servers and network locked down.

To get a true picture of the company's overall security, the CIO hired
my team to do a preassessment without informing the majority of
employees. For political reasons, he had to let several people know
the test would be performed. And just to make my job more of a
challenge, the director of the network operations center vowed my team
wouldn't break into his systems or facilities. SNIP
