As a security consultant I have seen more so called administrators creating
security risks than users. So should that be SCA. It's easy to blame the
user but if the administrators don't understand security and don't create an
environment in which the risks are reduced how can you expect a user to know
any better.
What about Security Awareness, Policy, Procedure, Best Practise etc.
