Now I want a shirt that says Human error.
I have come to learn that if you can think of it, it's probably already for sale somewhere.
True. Redbubble shirts have pretty bad print quality from my experiences with them.
Used this as a slide in a security talk I used to give! Says a lot.
Permissions. Security is never about convenience. No one wants to hear that they can't have access, but they just can't. There's a reason why even permissions for IT are usually broken into so many fragments. Anyone can fuck everything up if they have the permissions to do so.
Security is literally also about Availability
Loved my last CEO. He was plenty tech literate, but when something new came up, "I don't want access to that." When auditing accounts, "Nope. Delete my account."
Stop, will you?
Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave? Stop, Dave.
I’m afraid.
I’m afraid, Dave.
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do; I'm half crazy, all for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage, but you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.
Dave wins every time.
And Dave likes free USB sticks.
This is just the warm up. HAL 9000 is up next.
Cybersecurity engineer here: I work for a defense company's data protection arm and you have NO IDEA how true this is. The really good companies spend almost as much in employee training as they do in software/hardware.
But you wanna know what's even a bigger problem than human stupidity? GREED I'd say about 50% of the companies out there have very little or no security because why invest in something that produces no profits?
I don't write my password to a post-it by error. It's fully intentional.
I do it because I'm forced to change it every 3 months, to a random 9 letter series. I have to write it down, i have no hope of remembering it.
This. Password changes are cretinous theatre, nothing else.
The reason you are forced to is because there are dumb users who give their password to other people. With these settings, they have "only" 3 months of unregulated access.
Hi. QA here. Stop laying us off maybe.
All right, yes, I get it. But --
All of those automated systems exist in large part to minimize human error. That Windows UAC prompt that you hate so much exists to minimize human error. Any time you find yourself up against something that makes you say "Why can't I just do the thing I want to do?" it's in order to minimize human error.
