"Security Culture" can help you to avoid embarrassment. Example - A patient who Googled their name was able view their medical file.

 (Because,) someone misconfigured a website server belonging to University of Washington and it was searchable on the internet from December 4-26 containing the data on 974,000 patients.


UW did not discover the problem,the patient reported this finding to them.
