I agree this is more about trust than efficiency, and I would suggest, at
a minimum, deleting:

", or in other networks of the same enterprise"

Also, it is often about weak authentication on internal networks
(intranets) as much as about intercepted message contents.

It's likely preferable to use the word "proprietary" rather than
"classified."
