Zero Trust Architecture

Which actual IT guy supports antivirus?
Ohh fuck yes, I support antivirus, but only on Windows, maybe, possibly OSX. If you give bare Windows to a kid, they'll have viruses as soon as they learn to use Google.
TBF, Fam gets my guest network. It's not allowed to touch anything in my house, they can only route through. DHCP sends their DNS to 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8, They can't even touch my DNS, they can't see any of my home automation and they can't see each other. They can push the connection as hard as they want, the QOS won't let them take priority.
For my son I just used APLs in group policy. Only approved apps could run. I encouraged him to be better than me and he has definitely kept me on my toes. Now he is in college for cyber security and loving it.
So far he hasn't broken anything major on his computer or the network, well, aside from messing up his BIOS a couple times... But then he got to teach me how to program EEPROM (like I said, he has kept me learning stuff I normally wouldn't).

Lol generally I'll refer to the OS builtin tooling (XProtect/MS Defender) and EDRs as "Antivirus" otherwise the non-techies will freak OmG wE hAVe NO aV! And then the "anti"-viruses like mcafee and Kaspersky mysteriously spawns
And also on-demand AV software can be good for spot checks or if you're sus of something.
It's the "Real-time" shit that hooks into the kernel that needs to be avoided like the plague

I legitimately can't tell if this is a joke or some dude trying to do a humble brag post on LinkedIn. So many 'look what I can do' posts on that damn site.

I'll admit it. I can feel that vibe and I don't totally disagree.
Kid should be learning social skills at a family party.
As a former kid struggling with social skills, I think that would've done me some good. It's easy and convenient to fall into avoidance behaviour, but overcoddling did me no favours.

He is doing the right thing if only because he is preventing a child from playing Roblox.
He'd be a hero if he gave him a copy of Minecraft (or really almost any non-F2P game) to play instead.

wth is the point of a guest network if you have 443 blocked lmao.
Even my VPN port is 443 so it gets past basic port filtering because HTTPS is usually the only one allowed compared to other protocols.

This reads like a parody greentext except you know OP is a sysad so there's no fucking way he's that self-aware

But zero trust means you don't have to have a perimeter
