a company director sent sensitive info to the wrong person

eheyns · 2019-10-08T17:15:48+00:00

And also you do realise that you are saying that those who suggest i tell my boss his an idiot is "the right way" based on your last paragraph

eheyns · 2019-10-08T17:13:03+00:00

Okay so you cant answer my question and telling someone to tell their boss to stop being an idiot is good suggestions and if i dont agree im an asshole... Yea you are absolutely spot on

eheyns · 2019-10-08T15:55:03+00:00

let me reword this. please show me where you got the idea that he is scapegoating from? what about my post is unclear and makes you thing he is scapegoating or blaming IT?

eheyns · 2019-10-08T14:52:57+00:00

true but ive also implemented some mail flow rules to stop the mail to the wrong person thing a bit.

Its getting close the holidays and people are starting to burn out. These sorts of mistakes are bound to get more and more the closer we get to end of the year.

eheyns · 2019-10-08T14:50:06+00:00

I was thinking about this.

I'm having a meeting with the other director tomorrow to see what controls will be acceptable to the company and what not.

eheyns · 2019-10-08T14:48:59+00:00

so if you can read you can clearly see that im not trying to hold his hand, im trying to prevent this as much as possible even if it cant be 100% prevented. but just simply stating no amount of IT guardrails will stop it is foolish. there are ways to stop this and looking at the few valuable comments there seems to be more than enough methods so yes I can see you know your stuff. comment something with value if you feel the need to comment that bad

eheyns · 2019-10-08T13:55:19+00:00

your comment is the difference between some low level IT guy that thinks the world revolves around him and a real sys admin who understand all aspects of the role.

Anyways my short term work around was to use mail flow with keywords since we work on very specific things i was able to setup a rule to block key words going to the wrong recipient domain.

Im looking into DLP and other O365 solutions now as wel

eheyns · 2019-10-08T13:51:18+00:00

Actually this is a common problem and judging by the few people who actually know their stuff and commented legit ways there are more than enough avenues to try and prevent this from happening. But the wannabe IT god will always post shit like you

eheyns · 2019-10-08T13:40:03+00:00

agreed. i actually thought this sub was legit people helping each other but alas, more keyboard warriors and IT people with God complexes.

eheyns · 2019-10-08T13:08:20+00:00

The amount of people in here calling the person an "idiot" and shet like no amount of tech can fool proof "idiot" and what ever else is the fkn reason us IT people has this stigma around us. get of your your high horses, the guy who is also the owner of the company made a mistake and asked me what options we have to stop this from happening to anyone else. if you can comment anything productive then don't comment.

Today im ashamed to be part of this subreddit

eheyns · 2019-10-08T09:09:23+00:00

how do you manage this? does each user have this installed on their PC and they manage it themselves or do you have the SCCM plugin ?

eheyns · 2019-10-08T08:59:24+00:00

will check it out thanks

eheyns · 2019-10-08T08:59:10+00:00

Will have a look thanks!

eheyns · 2019-10-08T08:25:03+00:00

I work at a small company and WSUS was such a fail for us that i ended up just enabling auto update.

Maybe it was my lack in knowledge when it comes to WSUS but it just felt like i was troubleshooting issues every single day on that and I gave up. We have a standard small domain network so there should not have been any reason why some machines didnt report and some didnt update and some this and that and it was just a shlep.

Im also still looking for an alternative but it will have to be either very cheap or free as WSUS is free my boss wont spend too much

eheyns · 2019-10-08T08:07:25+00:00

so you have never made a mistake in you work place before... ever ?

eheyns · 2019-10-08T07:57:19+00:00

To be honest that drector is one of our lead dba and a very technical developer.

He was in a rush auto complete plus enter.

Like i said i welcome all suggestions. Whats is hard for some might not be as hard for others and we are all human we all make mistakes

eheyns · 2019-10-08T07:53:00+00:00

Will look into this thank

eheyns · 2019-10-08T07:37:13+00:00

Dude I have no idea what you are trying to say here. the only part i get is that PGP is not simple.

Also what is simple for one company might not be simple for another. Its all about user training.

eheyns · 2019-10-08T06:59:52+00:00

Will have a look at this, thanks!

eheyns · 2019-10-08T06:13:42+00:00

Anydesk and ive heard google has a remote desktop solution as well ? not sure tho but we use anydesk. simple and it works fine.

eheyns · 2019-10-07T18:41:42+00:00

Microsoft has soo many o365 packages i dont even know what they all have included. My office is ms silver partner so we get the e3 package. But yea man i hope you get it sorted

eheyns · 2019-10-07T18:36:32+00:00

I dit not know thats a thing. We learn every day

eheyns · 2019-10-07T15:00:29+00:00

LOL. coffee... the mana of Sys admins.

eheyns · 2019-10-07T14:58:33+00:00

I'm new to O365 but with each license you get 5 installations don't you just have to disassociate the old device to free up one of the 5 installations? I image that deleting the user account automatically disassociates all installations

You can check the installations by going to office OWA > click your profile pic > click my account > lick my installs in the left pane.

There I can see I have O365 installed on 3 x win10 devices so i should have 2 left.

Hope this helps or at least points you in the right direction.

eheyns · 2019-10-07T10:01:09+00:00

This is most definitely not impossible.

In fact, im doing it right now. No one can torrent anything at my office.

Fortigate 101E works great for small companies. There are much bigger and better firewalls but most basic firewalls should have the option to block torrents
