Regaining control
Kelly Martin, 2005-11-29

Securing endpoint systems by locking them down using complex software brings back memories of another era, where business computers were once used for business applications only - and businesses retained control over their assets and data.

Heh, far, far too many people equate having a computer at work with being able to surf the web endlessly. Locking down what is a company assett has squat to do with employee satisfaction. Employee satisfaction has one basic principle and that is having a job to begin with. If employee's are actually that disturbed by efforts to secure the corporate network let them vote with their feet, and join another company. It drives me buggy that people think they are entitled to surf the web at work. Errrrr, wrong! You are there to work

I am not one of those people that blames computer security on ignorant end users. My job is to help them do their work in as secure environment as possible, and if that means employing security measures that may have a small impact on their day to day doings so be it. Especially so when it is already approved by management. I really don't understand what user trust has to do with this as stipulated by yourself unless I am missing something.
