Yes. I used to work for them. The problem has always been the user base. And that’s been true since the first microcomputers came out. If it’s too hard, people don’t want it. I used UNIX long before Linus Torvalds made his distribution—and met him, too.

Having said that, I was an MCT for 20 years teaching IT admin and SQL server admin. I did a ton of contract work for MS writing courseware (MOC). Security always came down to the basics. As long as they were followed, you had a pretty good chance.

You could teach it to them 1,000 times, but it was always that one shortcut, that one time they forget the backups, etc. Murphy’s law.

Incidentally, I would never recommend Crowdstrike. They’re accessories to Seth Rich murder. I will always believe that.
