Windows has the craziest security I have ever seen. There are like a million different anti-virus-malware-ransom-what packages all installed, configured, and running at the same time. On top of that is a billion other little things here and there to make the system "more secure." Constantly slowing everything down.
The whole thing is a boat anchor. Judging by infection rates, this crap does no actual things to make the system more secure.
Why don't they focus on fixing the damn OS instead of applying band-a
It's obnoxious for Microsoft to insist on split tunneling VPNs. At least some government security policies forbid use of split tunnels because it means the endpoint device's other communications cannot be monitored for problematic behavior -- it gives attackers another way around the network's firewalls.
(And before anyone says "zero trust", that doesn't change the government-imposed security policies.)
Microsoft protecting us from *Linux*??? With the monthly parade of critical vulnerabilities on their systems? This must be some pathetic move by MS to marginalise Linux. Next stage, they'll be saying to just migrate everything to the 'safety' of windows.
Look again at the first sentence of the quoted block:
mirrors what the product already does for Windows systems
Despite the sensationalized headline, this doesn't look like an attack on Linux. It looks much more like adding a useful feature for network admi
Did you have a chat with the CIO / CEO about how easy it is to hack these systems, what happens when they are compromised, how much it costs for lawyers, security auditors, etc. after a breach, what the reputation damage will cost the company, lost customers, etc? Use real examples from similar companies.
Another option - offer to run a pentest against it - with that bad a system just a canned attack out of burp (from portswigger.net, not expensive) will produce very damning data. It's fun. Then do a report
As far as I understand, it doesn't decide to isolate devices on it's own. This is triggered only by enterprise administrator.
It is controlled by an API running on a Windows box. This is like buying a bank vault to store your valuables and trusting the key to your alcoholic brother-in-law with criminal tendencies.
