Yeah i think that is the case but i was just stretching the point that if you had technology in place to enforce policy then the need to monitor the human activity would be reduced. Plus with offerings from companies such as IMB ISS and the ADS function which links in to the IPS and it allows to monitor employee's activity on the network and disable activity if anything seen as malicious is occuring. In organisations with 500+ employees its always going to be fighting a losing battle to educate the importance of security.
