- alanfalcon 9y agoMaybe. But their own hardware will also be slower, no?
- bluGill 9y agoMaybe. When it is your own hardware you can do a different risk analysis. If you control all the code that runs on the system you don't need any mitigation. Most servers don't run arbitrary code form the internet - at least not intentionally. (a security hole that allows remote code execution is a real issue, but that risk can be managed) My company doesn't need to mitigate the risk of me using these tricks. I'm not going to, but even if I was I have many other ways to get at sensitive data if I tried. If I get caught I'm fired and put in prison which is enough mitigation.
