We audited every exe and whitelisted like majority with over 50 users. Some occasional victims here and there (I lost access to my self compiled ones, too) but overall no THAT signigicant rise in ticketing
I do industrial controls. The software we are forced to use is usually proprietary, sometimes old, and always very poorly written. Plus there’s the networking issues. A huge amount of stuff is just statically addressed, so I might be switching the ethernet port on my laptop from an 89.89.x.y subnet, to a 10.10.i.j subnet, to a 192.168.a.b subnet, and back again multiple times a day. When IT first took admin rights off our laptops, it took away our ability to change IP addresses. There may have been some small amount of malicious compliance.
IT tried to get super strict with that at my company, but they relented when ticket volumes went up by a couple thousand percent.
We have done this, and it took years.
