If a med-large company does not have a role assigned to develop security 
policy and another role assigned to implement/monitor that policy, then 
that is a canoe floating down the river without a paddle heading for the 
some rapidly approaching falls.

Course, some might argue Sony had a security group, but that is likely an
example of poor security implementation, monitoring and mgmt. i.e. no 
one monitoring or alarming when a highly priv'ed acct transfers a large 
amount of data OUT of the company???? 

I wonder how many other companies really have safe guards to prevent 
something like this happening to them?

In a nutshell, that is what US Govt and Snowden affair was all about  ..
