Indeed I know I haven’t posted for long. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say, but I’m trying to find a balance between posting something about things I know, and making sure the readers do not necessarily assume that this is how we do things in SUSE.
Getting there…
Some years ago, during a (quite extended) phishing avalanche in the company I was at the time, the (then) CIO said: Let’s fire every user that falls for a phishing mail! That will solve the problem for good.
I considered it a joke, and I replied pretty much with a rhyme: Let’s train them before we blame them and I didn’t give it a second throught. We went on to deploy some training modules, but never really implemented the technical controls on the mail server; an activity that if had been implemented, several of those phishing mails would never have entered the company. I think that this is not strictly a user failure and I’m inclined to blame the IT deparment more than the user.
Chances are you are familiar with the phenomenon called Game of Thrones. I expect that everybody who watches the series has a perspective and a preference on the person they wish to sit in the Iron Throne. But let’s be honest; only science can forecast the outcome!
