I don’t disagree. My last job was using winget to update some things. I raised the concept of trusting otherwise unknown updates, but I was pushed aside for the quick utility.
I’m only a student of cybersecurity, but I harshly judge my former “security expert” on far more than that.
Like fuck, the help desk has to install every patch, to every machine, through a spreadsheet?
No, deploy that shit from a server. Fuck.
In a way, I’m glad I left. In another way, I would really like a pay check again… and I moved to a well, tech illiterate state. Fuck me.
My condolences. Unfortunately, people are sometimes designated the in-house expert on a thing just because they seem slightly less ignorant of it than anyone else in the organization. That leaves more than a few people making decisions that impact security and privacy without good understanding or sound judgment in those areas.
Maybe you should train up and become your state’s new security expert?
