Trusted vs Secure
In the company I work for we have some policy that states that the local area network is trusted. For some reason some people seem to like to interpret this as the local area network is secure. Not wanting to understand the difference between trusted (all parties connecting to the local network are trusted by our company) and secure (communication channels used on the local network don’t need any additional protection measures).
For me this just points out two things:
1. People are stupid (or at least like to act that way if it fits their agenda).
2. (Security) Policies should be chrystal clear including definitions of terms that might be interpreted different by people in certain situations.
