Even large companies like it to pay alot for external security consultants instead of having their own ones. There is enough work to be done - but nobody does it. Only spots, temporary projects are done with the help of consultants, but the lacks of the whole infrastructure cannot be fixed like that. That is my 2,71828 Euro-Cents from the view of an part-time network/security admin. At which beach do you want your bar to be opened? If there is no internet connection available, i am with you.
