Repeat the following metaphor until you internalize it:
Security is the skin of an organization, IT infrastructure is the bones.
Everything else is the digestive system or the nervous system. Breaking the skin is a bad idea. It needs to be done for certain specific reasons, but all of those holes need good defense systems including real-time sensors and reflexes. Repeatedly stressing parts makes them tired and calloused, not more flexible. Careful and deliberate exercise builds strength and flexibility.
If I had less integrity and more time I could spin this out into a 140 page business advice book.
