I am suppose to believe a random HN poster knows more about governing a large internal IT department - actually the second largest employer in the US and the largest cloud provider?
If so, I still know some people inside AWS. I’m sure they will be willing to back up a shit ton of money to your doorstep to teach them the error of their ways.
- ocdtrekkie 1y agoAll I'm saying, is what you've told me is so foundationally bad that instead of being a sort of off-topic comment in this post, it should be the #1 headline on HN. I'm frankly stunned. I don't really care if I don't have enough authority to be believable to you or not, I never asked you to. But most community college professors for the IT trade degrees could explain it if you asked. And oh, I'm sure Amazon folks would have some high buzzwordy reasons to suggest this is okay in their environment. Everyone bad at security does it.
- scarface_74 1y agoYes, because community college professors know the latest best practices from spending years in the industry working with large enterprises and managing employees at scale… I would be shocked if most BigTech developers don’t have admin access to their computers and some type of MDM software that automatically disable disallowed apps. When was the last time you heard about an exploit to AWS’s or GCPs internal systems based on employee installed software? It might shock you, that it started at Google with the zero trust initiative. But AWS was rapidly moving away from requiring VPNs to gain access to any of their internal systems.
