In the last few years we used to do windows updates quarterly on our production servers as required by PCI DSS. In the last year though, we’ve had to do updates every single month due to critical CVEs needing to be patched. It’s becoming ludicrous actually, yet they’re cutting security folk.

It's yall's fault for using windows.

Linux is literally available for free.

We also use Linux

Think we patch monthly regardless in and outside of PCI scoped environments. The issue recently is that customers want even more frequent patches, like within a few days of the CVEs

Didn't they just said, not long ago, that security would be their "top priority".

Same old story; the hand doesn't follow the mouth.

Making room for the new tranche of H1B coming in I guess.

They also laid off folks with H1Bs. No, I suspect the real story here is that someone somewhere got convinced these jobs could be done even cheaper by AI, so they're cutting folks to fund the datacenters basically.

Nah, executive bonuses and whaleholder dividends needed to be higher.

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

H1Bs are payed 40-60 cents on the dollar while you can work them harder and they can't whine or get sent home... So..it does help the bottom line.

It's pretty important to me to not turn to a life of crime, but I appreciate everyone laying off their security teams, and putting all their most valuable data in one place, just in case I should change my mind...

I'm not going to change my mind, but it's awfully considerate anyway.
