Comment Re:Also, employees WILL bypass unreasonable restri (Score 1) 156
Suppose an organization decides that they've had enough of trojans, so they l decree that everyone gets the approved desktop image and noone may install the software they need to do their job effectively and efficiently. To enforce this, employees get only a very limited account on the machine, similar to the default Guest account in Windows.
The result? The IT department no longer knows what software is being used since employees have to keep it secret (or be unable to do their job effectively). They don't know how the software got there. Maybe a lot of people are doing their work on personally-owned laptops or tablets, so company data is now handled on the same system their kids use to play online games.
BINGO!
That is exactly what they do. I stopped carrying a laptop a couple of years ago and just set up a VM I use to VPN in to the office from my home PC.
