And then people wonder why corporate IT security is really bad sometimes...
- oceanplexian 3y agoI’m gonna guess that 99% of the time a company gets hacked because the CFO gets caught downloading porn from a sketchy website on his Windows machine. Not because of some nerds running linux.
- WolfeReader 3y agoMy corporate IT doesn't let us use ad blockers, password managers, incognito windows, or GPG. It's rules like that, which motivate me to carve my own path to actual security. I've seen security breaches happen, and it's not the self-motivated users who cause them. It's the casual users who leave their computer unlocked, or go on social media with the same one browser they're using for work, or who click links in email without checking the source.
- boston_clone 3y ago> It's the casual users who […] go on social media with the same one browser they're using for work this sounds like personal use, though. I do appreciate your perspective, and am sorry that your IT dept has no sense of security. Disallowing password managers and ad blockers honestly sounds like a good sign to gtfo and find a more competent org, or dig in and drive some serious change from the inside.
- WolfeReader 3y agoI like both of those options you're suggesting :)
- justsomehnguy 3y agoShitty corporate IT security - yes. A proper corporate security is to never have a chance for some client device to compromise the security.
- mistyvales 3y agoIt often takes my company three months to allow certain security updates through, so I'd say that's a fairly huge fail from a security standpoint. It is quicker from the Mac team though, and they're slowly deprecating Windows machines once it's certain all software works properly on M* machines.
