I am sorry and I get carried away sometimes but it is frustrating seeing comments from cowboy devs saying to just give everyone admin, have an excel sheet of software and have people manage their own PC and to get rid of IT just because as here they got phished or breached.
That works for a 5 person company but not a 1000 person company. Or a 10 person company with 1000 machines.
- hananova 7mo agoI used to work in test automation for a huge company with terribly annoying IT. I can tell you for a fact that our entire department had well-developed workarounds for the most annoying policies. We even had a few intune 0-days that we literally kept to ourselves to be able to do our jobs properly. Because in the end, it’s not IT on the line for their odious policies causing late delivery, it was us.
- heraldgeezer 7mo agoWhat was so annoying? Having to reboot for Windows updates/programs and MS Defender running? Also, if the company is certified in some way there are audits for these things, you understand? Such as updates, backups, security, PAM, antivirus etc :) Subvert these controls intentionally, especially security ones = bye bye. Logs don't lie. We see you.
- hananova 7mo agoWe never got caught or fired. I won’t detail the 0-days we used because I’m pretty sure the team is still using them, but I can assure you that the logs DID lie.
