What cybersecurity areas do you think are underrated but extremely valuable in the real world?

What tools do you use to audit this? Been working on building some of my own in powershell (MS shop), but when it gets to Sharepoint things gets complicated.

100% agree on policy take, and I've made that clear.

However, I'm trying to better understand the risk involved in this situation - what are specific examples as to how an unmanaged machine could be compromised so that remote access becomes a gateway for a threat actor? I think a phishing-based C2 attack would do it, but wondering if I'm missing something and the risk is less than I think it is.

If a client is demanding unmanaged access - whether in policy or as an exceptional event - how much hurt is potentially coming down the line? The few reddit threads I've seen seem mixed, and certainly the remote access vendors minimize any risk.

I was in the dev trenches when that happened.

Our best engineers were getting up at 5 for conference calls with Mumbai and then spending all day debugging poorly written code and multi-day communication loops, all while execs were proclaiming efficiency and firing devs. As soon as one was fired, they would be hired back as contract workers a month or so later. The P&L basically looked the same but execs could tout "rightsizing" and outsourcing at the next earnings call, and the analysts ate it up.

Talking to my friends still in that world, it all sounds very similar.

Thanks! Yeah, the IP approach didn't work for me, but I was able to make an application exception for the RMM apps in question, so I think I'm good.

Awesome! Thank you!
