Sounds like a hellhole. That policy is perfectly tailored for corruption and paranoia.


concur. I do hope that the "well meaning" security team that thought this up is diligent in investigating and accounting for false positives. "Oh, I clicked the link in the fishing email IN A VM to see what the F* it was" and "I entered 'fakeceo' and 'mrpassword123'".

People have different methods of exploring and learning to decide if something is legit or not. Nor should any "security policy" should be a 3 strikes zero tolerance policy. Everything needs context.

P.S. I'm pretty sure that the mental and behavioral damage done by this 3 strikes policy can easily be weaponized.

Shame.


That’s the cost of client enforced security policy. I have not known or heard anyone personally fired for this but definitely getting warnings and or getting reassigned their roles.


> That policy is perfectly tailored for corruption

Elaborate?
