Setting aside the question whether these security tools are effective at their stated goal, what does this have to do with trust at all? Does the existence of a bank vault break the trust between the bank and the tellers? What is the mechanism that would prevent your computer from getting infected by a 0-day if only your employer trusted you?
- imiric 2y ago> Does the existence of a bank vault break the trust between the bank and the tellers? That's a strange analogy, since the vault is meant to safeguard customer assets from the public, not from bank employees. Besides, the vault doesn't make the teller's job more difficult. > What is the mechanism that would prevent your computer from getting infected by a 0-day if only your employer trusted you? There isn't one. What my employer does is trust that I take care of their assets and follow good security practices to the best of my abilities. Making me install monitoring software is an explicit admission that they don't trust me to do this, and with that they also break my trust in them.
