To me, 8% is a HUGE number. And the primary goal of the company is not
security. Security helps to keep stuff away from curious individuals.

I think that 8%, even if it is a big one, sounds like a good one.

Several companies got their business killed because of a similar company
doing evil penetration to extract useful information on customers etc...

Never underestimate the importance of your computerized data: almost every
company projects and customers are saved in a numerical form in a computer
somewhere.
