- 88840-8855 5y agoDo you know anyone who does not want to work from home?
- tsjq 5y agoUpper management. Everywhere they want the rank & file to stop WFH and come back to office.
- trutannus 5y agoMore like people who can't. Working with sensitive documents sometimes requires physical engineering considerations (ie: viewing rooms). Not something that can be replicated in an employee's home. Contrary to what software devs like myself like to think, not every job can be done remotely!
- pjc50 5y agoA computing cloud that's not connected to the internet is completely useless. Besides, how else would the lowest bidder international contractor be able to work on it?
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoDoD has a parallel internet inaccessible from outside secure sites. They can follow the same approach with NATO computing needs.
- viraptor 5y agoNot if your private environment is large enough that you can create individual cloud platforms inside of it. One level more detached than AWS GovCloud / whatever Ali does. The contractors would likely never touch the live system. Just deliver the project to deploy.
- hatch_q 5y agoThere's no NATO related data there - it's just a project for NATO. If poisoned images were to be deployed into NATO datacenter, hackers would have no access to it as it's physically separated from internet.
- aj3 5y agoIs this true? There are plenty of NATO systems that seem to be dual homed and accessible from internet either through port forwarding or VPN. That’s not “physical separation”.
