> if someone plugs their phone into their laptop to charge it, they'll start getting network timeouts when they try to use the ERP system. After waiting 30 minutes for it to come back online, then calling the helpdesk, they'll be told that the charging phone counts as an unencrypted disk and they need to unplug it.
Good thing they killed the nic or blocked the LAN traffic on the laptop while it's connected to that high speed cellular network modem! And as we all know, once a potentially malicious payload delivering unencrypted drive is unplugged, the threat is gone and you can have your network back. If that weren't true, you'd see folks sprinkling usb thumb drives in the parking lots of their target's offices. What's next, usb cables with microcontrollers, keyloggers, and wifi?

If helpdesk is making calls like that, add all the zero trust you want, you're still screwed
