  • “does your organization have antivirus or anti malware protection on all desktops?”

    Talk about suggestive question phrasing. Where better organisational security could often be accomplished by assuming every device attached to the network is a potential threat, and focusing on the network security, shielding devices against each other with only whitelisted protocols, plus locking down all devices that are configured by corporate IT.

    Practical IT security in most orgs these days is “configure a big firewall with default settings from corporate provider, assuming everything is safe inside.” then they get one compromised device (USB stick, cell phone transfer, exploit, whatever) and the whole ass network is fucked. and they have a “oh well, we did everything we can” excuse. fucking BS.
