It took corporate America this long to realize this. I once worked at a facility that handled classified information, and the shit they addled my PC with... it was clear that the idea was not security, i.e., preventing attacks. It was having an audit trail so they knew whom to call on the carpet/arrest if/when attacks eventually occurred. It relied heavily on backdoors into the system so that the CPU state, RAM, network, disk, etc. could be snapshotted and analyzed at any time -- and of course, once you have a backdoor, so does an attacker. Granted, my computer was not cleared to handle actual classified info, but what was on it was still sensitive from a national-security standpoint. When the Clownstrike incident occurred, the phrase "fucking for virginity" popped into my head to describe what software like that does in the name of "security".
