I work at a large software company and recently documented the number of steps it takes me every morning to fully log into every system I need for work. I stopped at 37.

And every year in response to all the breaches in the news the company spends more money to hire another security team who simply pile on another redundant layer on top.

The industry has jumped the shark when it comes to IT security. It's the corporate equivalent of spending tens of billions of dollars on the TSA and making everyone take their shoes off at the airport. Meanwhile someone with intent can stroll into JFK, casually bypass all security checkpoints and get on a plane to Paris without a boarding pass.
