99.9% of the time the biggest threat vector to your company is going to be preventing your employees from sexually harassing each other, not preventing the Russians or whoever from reading your internal messages.

Yes, but:

1. We always have to combine the likelihood and incidence rate of threats with the magnitude of damage. I do not personally subscribe to this thinking, but some bloodless financial types will suggest that you can compensate harassment victims, but a major security incident could cost you the entire company.

2. Insert animated gif of a little girl asking, "Why not both?" Companies can and must address threats like sexual harassment AND exfiltration of sensitive data.
