[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 5853160, member: 7883"] Which isn't always a bad thing, given they usually know more about security and best practices than managers do. :) As we're seeing with the horde of stories about hacking in recent years, it's quite evident that management of companies needs to be spending more time locking things down, not opening things up. With recent stories, such as about Nortel, where they've found that hackers from certain nations I won't name here comprised corporate systems and had access to e-mail, and pretty much *everything* for 10 years before the company went down, one has to wonder how much stolen information went to help competitors, and ended up costing the company contracts etc.....which would in turn lead to the company going under. Obviously, that can't be blamed on any of the current tablets, as even the iPad had not yet been created, but one has to wonder whether easing up on safety measures is necessarily a good thing. So, either their network security guys weren't good enough, or management prevented the network security guys from putting needed measures in place. Banshee [/QUOTE]
