A common problem

I have come across this problem, in a number of cases the user has set up the connection to the wireless network without any proficient IT support and does not realise the implications of their not waiting for the proper support. Until business realises that the IT function is not only a cost and is an essential part of the business and should be treated as the other professional departments there will always be these security holes.

As a summary would a business pay an employee bypassing the payroll department ? No ? Then why do the un-initiated, often untrained and totally unaware regularly bypass the IT department when setting up the PC ?
