I'm still puzzled. Why are folks still so spun up about SATAN? If
their operations are properly protected...what is the problem?

squarely where it belongs (nono *NOT* with the sysadmins). If the
organization gets chomped on, and it results in the loss or compromise
of corporate information assets, then, as they say in Naval Aviation;
"involutary pilot egress sequencing may occur". Read that; Former
CEO/CIO seeks position...
