For the scenario described this is a security nightmare. Instead of having to expend a lot of effort targeting your organisation, profiling your defences and attempting to bypass your security (doable but will require some effort in many cases) I now just have to attack your personal email, get you to click on a link to my attack, compromise your box, install a keylogger then route my terminal services/citrix ica connection through your desktop and logon with your credentials to get in.
Nice try, Citrix PR Company.
- speleding 16y agoAny company of a reasonable size has lots of consultants walking around, all with their own laptop, and sensitive company information on them. Giving people their own laptop to manage is really not much different.
- iuguy 16y agoI disagree with regards to how different it is. Those consultants are a relatively small proportion of the estate of such companies. Furthermore companies of sufficient size to have permanent levels of consultants connected to their internal networks and running their data have fairly nasty clauses mandating security requirements for said laptops to connect to their networks, with significant consequences for failure (both for the individual and supplier). The consultants walking around with their own laptops generally have internally mandated compliance requirements for things like encryption, host firewalls and antivirus.
