   I love reading security recommendations explanations aimed at utterly computer illiterate people. This naive approach at security based on recommendations that are usually either mostly inapplicable or at times even placebo never stops being funny.

     @BasedLunatic The weakest link in a company security is always a human. Why try to get into their infra from the outside, when some dumbass will open a zip file with a vbs script. AV won't save you against something custom anyway. At best it will figure out something isn't right after the infection.
     
     >implement an awareness and training program
     aka. The hackers are big scary program. Sure, your employees will know what a cybercriminal is, think he's probably wearing a hoodie all day sitting in front of a computer with the matrix scroll. But some retard will still click on a link even when told not do so, even if you set Exchange to mark external incoming emails with [EXTERNAL] in the subject and inject a warning into the body.
     
     Bbbut, since implementing a training program, our phishing tests have gone down by 30% from 50%. Which literally means, half of your company will still get you infected, if something malicious lands in their inbox.
     
     >consider disabling Ransomware Deployment Protocol
     
     >change password regularly
     aka. I'll add some number to the end of my password, because the IT retards keep wanting me to change it every 2 months.

     @phnt my favorite is when it wants to search your computer for driver updates, like you'd just have the latest version laying around somewhere and not install it right away.
