Yeah, five years as a network administrator over a userbase of 3,000
has proven to me time and time again that no matter how much security
I stick in front of them in terms of patches, firewalls, IDS, proxy
servers, anti-virus, Altiris, and Websense, they still manage to
figure out how to get themselves infected or spywared.
They just don't care about the message in front of them, they just
click 'OK' to get the dang little box out of their way.
We even held user education classes but it doesn't work. It's just one
more interruption in their day that's going to waste 30 min to an hour
of their time.
You know why most corporate users don't care about security? Because
they know IT will come and fix their computer after they've thrashed
it.
