السلسلة الكبيرة ليست اقوى من اصغر وصلة فيها
A chain is no stronger than its weakest link (http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/a+chain+is+no+stronger+than+its+weakest+link.html)
This means that processes, organisations, etc, are vulnerable because the weakest person or part can always damage or break them.1
it's obvious as I think
