I'd like to know why the competitors, customers and suppliers of Microsoft are all completely at peace with sending their email through outlook, discussing their operations through teams, and running the entire stack on windows with built in telemetry features. I've never had a better result than blank incomprehension when raising that as a risk with IT teams.
- ranger_danger 1y agoI regularly work with a firm that specializes in security/crypto and reverse engineering... and their extreme reliance on Microsoft and proprietary software in general is baffling to me.

- orev 1y agoThat “blank stare” isn’t lack of comprehension. The IT teams already know this, but are powerless to prevent it because the Business-people want IT to “just make it work”, “every other company is using it so obviously you’re just being paranoid”, and “we don’t have time for an in-depth risk review because our competitors are going to eat our lunch while we’re wasting time on this instead of running the business”. That blank look is “this is inevitable and I’m doing what I need to do to keep my job”.
