Well, I’m glad I don’t work for you. I work for a Fortune 100 company with nearly 100,000 employees and we all have admin/root access to our company provided hardware. I’ve worked here for decades and have never heard anything through the IT grapevine of issues arising from this.
- thefurdrake 3y agoI, too, work for a fortune 500. They're actually in the top 100. No idea how many employees, though. Every instance I've encountered with an engineer having root/admin permissions has been a shitshow. I just now encountered an instance of engineers bypassing policy by modifying sudoers to give a lower priv'd generic/shared account passwordless sudo to shit like /usr/bin/make. The other project I was on, I had to fight with engineers about why having a firewall on your appliance doesn't negate the need to address code execution exploits behind the firewall. These aren't security-savy individuals and they shouldn't ever be given administrative access to anything. I'm glad you don't work for me, too; I can't stand leadership positions. I work in security and all I see are engineers fucking up daily, so I'm pretty jaded/biased at this point.
- irrational 3y agoI don’t even work for a tech company. Everyone from assistants to designers to managers have admin access on their work machines.
