The presence of Ray Arnold the Chief Engineer who also worked with computers (not to the same level as Nedry)
Jurassic Park was operating with a skeleton crew at the time and Hammond thought the automated systems would work because he was assured as much from his Chief IT guy.
Nedry has a whole team working on the park's IT system. And I'm not just referencing book material. Hammond even said in the BLOODY movie "call Nedry's team on the main land" when shit started going down.

So no. Hammond was not stupid enough to trust the entire park's computer infrastructure on just one guy.

Also, it's not like the problems were only caused by Nedry or his team being understaffed or incompetent. Quite the opposite. He was a bad actor. And a bad actor in the right position can cause a lot of damage. He purposefully sabotaged the park in a way that couldn't have been easily averted.

Wayne Knight is a fine actor, what are you talking about.
