Ah yes, the classic problems:
* log in/out take an unreasonable amount of time
* password rotation despite that being demonstrably worse for security across every metric
Followed up with some domain specifics:
* Failing to acknowledge a single system or device may be shared rapidly among many different users
* Delaying access due to excessive authentication steps can kill people
* Not understanding that a "quick action" is not quick if it requires another action that is not quick (surgery prep is not a 5 second task people)
The first set are inexcusable in any environment, especially password rotation, the latter just requires the people coming up with security policies to actually spend time in the environment their policies will apply.
- Aeolun 3y agoI feel like the problem with security is the same as with HR. They’re so specialized they often have no other work, so spending a bunch of time on pointless policies just makes their job more secure for them.
