Note: I am in no way affiliated with Suntrust, nor do I bank there. I'm
not really defending them, just pointing out a few things...

I have seen several Suntrust representatives at Security Seminars and the
like lately. They are fully aware that they are not perfect and are taking
steps to correct problems where they can. Unfortunately, they are like
most large organizations...WAY WAY too many irons in the fire. 5-7 years
from now, businesses that make security their #1 priority will be the only
one's left in business. But now, businesses that make security their #1
priority will be the first one's out of business. It's a delicate balance
that's more difficult to achieve in a large orgnization.

Word on the street...they're getting ready to outsource.
