>>108997337Security is compliance theater so when you get sued you can tell them to fuck off cause you paid for a bunch of checkboxesThere are zero negatives to getting pwned and leaking every scrap of data about your customers. Nobody at all cares a single whit
>>108998308Came to the same conclusion myself.For a long time at my job I was conducting tests on Linux test VM, using a vmware NAT adapter to route to it from my host.And all of a sudden nothing worked. I reached out to my IT helpdesk (huge defense contractor btw) and was told that 1) non-routable IPs would not work because of security issues, and 2) I am not authorized to use Linux because it's not a supported OSBut Windows 11, from the company for which there are documented cases of refusal to acknowledge critical security vulnerabilities, is A-OK because they are a "trusted vendor"
