I'm sitting around just waiting for one of our clients to get hacked for a third time. Dumb cheap bastards are still using Windows 7, and they've been putting off upgrades for like 2 years now because it's expensive.

I think companies tend to think that they can prevent compromises, or that once they're hit once they don't have to worry about it again, like they develop immunity. Imho, everyone should take a, "Not if but when," type of strategy, rather than just "If"

What could possibly go wrong with password protected USB drives with employee contact information that managers take home for the DR contact list or...

An internal "cloud" system which we already had that can sync a folder to your laptop or mobile, it would automatically update changes, and work "offline" with the local copy if the network or server was down.

Guess what one they chose to use
