Yes, i've been in that situation and it's really tired. Maybe some
audit which the goal to get the alignment between IT and business will
be good trigger for better IT understanding.

Hi all,
Just want to ask whether you guys have encountered some unreasonable requests from your senior management (e.g. ceo) 
whereby you as an IT personnel understands the potential security risks involved. But then, when you try to explain 
the security risks or consequence to them, they won't listen and just tell you they need this because of business 
function.

At the end, you can't do anything but to adhere what they request. But then, this leads to so many exceptions created 
for senior management.

Well, this is what I am currently facing!!!
