People want to work remotely. They want email on their iPhones/Androids/Blackberries. They want to e-mail people at other companies. Every once in a while you need a nontrivial amount of information to cross that airgap. Then you have Stuxnet-style attacks to worry about, too.
- Vivtek 14y agoMaybe if they want to work remotely, they're just going to have to suck it up and admit that you can't do that with sensitive information. There have in fact been times when military secrets were considered more valuable than people's lifestyle or convenience. I'm thinking that if these secrets are not more valuable than the lifestyle and convenience of military consultants, then they're not actually all that live-or-die, are they? Instead, they're used as fodder for alarmism.
- raverbashing 14y agoYes I'd find it very hard pressed to find a place where you can work remotely. (Especially with all the useless crap IT pushes usually) Or make it easier, you can work remotely only by remote desktop access (like Google does internally). (Yes, you can capture a video of the data, but it's one thing to see a picture of a cad drawing, another one to have the file)
