I’m in cybersecurity and recently had to go through employee-wide security awareness training. It was great and well done. However there was nothing forcing you to pay attention and you could skip through slides, so who knows how effective.
Our security training vendor requires whitelisting multiple domains and the installation of Adobe Flash. How do I trust a vendor whose implementation requires poking more security holes in my systems?
A lot of security companies are like for-profit colleges. They aren’t at all what they say, they’re incompetent, and they make the world a worst place. Hopefully their time will end soon enough.
Just look at what Symantec did to Google for proof of that (sorry don’t have a link, but, haha, just Google it).
