This fence is between the road and Twoprop’s compound. The area outlined in red is a four-strand barbed wire fence. That’s the whole fence. At the far right of the frame is what seems to be an old fence post, but even if the fence once ran to there, it still wouldn’t do much as that would be about a twenty-foot segment of fence along about three hundred feet of roadway. Now, a lot can happen in 111 years, but I have gone through all the forest and can find no evidence that the piece of fence ever connected to anything else. There are no old posts, wooden or metal. There are no rusted bits of barbed wire. It seems likely that there was once a fence all along the roadway, and I can understand if the rainforest reclaimed it all, but why did this bit survive, relatively intact, while the rest has vanished without a trace?
Don’t worry about the integrity of Twoprop’s compound security. Shortly behind that fence is a deep gulch which, while passable on foot, would take considerable effort to get through. No vehicles I know of would be likely to make it. On the far side of that gulch is a complete and intact fence. So we’ve implemented security in depth.
The pictured segment, however, is quite reminiscent of a lot of the corporate IT security I have seen. “Oh, we have a FortiCloudStrike firewall, our security is fine, the salespeople assure us that’s all we need.” But there are huge gaps to either side of their expensive fortified firewall.
Security is process, not product.
