As opposed to Microsoft ramming updates down your throat whether you like them or not, and whether they break things or not?
The lock on your house door is 'opt-in'. If you don't lock it and someone steals something, is it the lock manufacturer's fault? The home builder's fault? Did they construct an insecure house? Ignorance of the proper operation of the lock is not an excuse not to lock it and doesn't shift the responsibility to someone else.
I don't know why people happily assume everything in IT is secure by default when in the real world, almost nothing is secure by default.
- deckar01 8y agoThe pervasiveness of insecure systems is not a justification for designing an insecure system.
- sathackr 8y agoIndeed. Quite the opposite. When working with multiple layers of systems that will eventually have vulnerabilities discovering, you must design your environment to remain secure regardless. The chances of someone infiltrating a properly designed(and maintained) environment without detection are very slim. Defense in depth.
