Information Security vs Senior Manager Fun#1 - on BYOD


6 months ago...in a XYZ company far far away..

Senior Manager mate: You security guys put tons of security stuffs on my Windows laptop. It takes 15 minutes just to boot-up. Now you are telling me you want to put another piece of compliance software inside? Damm! I don't want to use this Windows shit anymore. See my Mac there. There is no virus attacking Mac. Mac is safe and in less than 5 minutes, I can already use it.
Information Security lad: Sir, the security software were installed to ensure your laptop is secure.. blah..blah.....
Senior Manager mate: Nah! I'll just use my Mac and iPad. Anyway, I know that BYOD policy has been approved as I'm part of the reviewer.
Information Security lad: In that case, please sign this exception form sir... <* explaining the risk of BYOD etc etc and in his head: well, I've done my job, I told you the risk and you accept it, I'm just gonna move on *>
