I wish they would block the corporate portal ‘feelgood’ ads. I don’t really care that Carl plays over 50s cricket or that Maggie knits sweaters for bald cockatoos.

I keep telling the IT people at work…
They’ve installed enpoint protection that reduces my PC performance by 70%.
They’ve got so much auth that most things are 4FA.
Services on a virtual desktop through a VPN still need have HTTPS.
The ACLs are so tight that I have to wait weeks on a ticket to make two PCs communicate in the same room.
Then they don’t block ads. Every time I’ve seen an infected machine, the attack vector has been an ad. It’s the only security measure that makes life better for the users, and they don’t do it.

4FA lol, good to know I’m not the only one.

It’s because insurance doesn’t require it (yet?)

There’s definitely an insurer driving our security policy, hiding behind some ISO audit spec.
Probably the same insurers that gain from scraping personal data from everyone and everything.
