Precisely how do you think that the aforementioned "security exploits" 
are discovered? 

My experience has been that unless you know how to hack and how to look 
at your network from the outside like one of the bad guys, that you 
aren't going to have much of an idea of what is vulnerable, what is 
poorly coded, and what does not work efficiently and securely.
