Balancing user autonomy and OS security: Are you willing to compromise for a safer system?

In my experience, this has always been a battle. A company cannot give up security for user autonomy. With cyber criminals being rampant, corporations and businesses cannot compromise their security. User education is one of the best ways to combat attacks.

A Internet das Coisas (IoT) revolucionou a forma como interagimos com os objetos ao nosso redor. Imagine um mundo onde sua geladeira avisa quando os alimentos est?o acabando, sua casa se ajusta à sua temperatura preferida e seu carro se conecta com outros veículos para evitar congestionamentos. Essa é a realidade que a IoT nos proporciona.

Finding a balance between strong security measures and personal autonomy is more psychological then technical job, You will do whatever you think it's important (I would say zero-tolerance) but users can be happy or not. To avoid that first shock (after implementing security) prepare the personnel, provide few trainings for the stuff and it will give results quickly. Without good planning, followed by constant client's complains at the very beginning which can result in cancelation of contract don't even think to do it.

This is the hart of the issue security have! Freedom over security?!? From technical side I have no doubt - Zero tolerance is a mast (in most of network operations), but from the other side there is an urgent need to prepare your staff for changes. It's unlikely they will be happy. However, that's it, rules are changed - new strategy. EOF

Imagine the parents walking with their kid down the street, and the kid sees the ice cream store. He first asks his mother if he can get the ice cream, but the mother tells the kid should ask his father. After the kid asks his father, he gets the answer to ask his mother if he can get it. Can the kid get the ice cream? NO, even the answer is Null. Good security officers or engineers should not care about reactions to the newly implemented substantial security restrictions. What they need to do is to educate staff before that happens and how the security is implemented. This can sound rude, but the ugly truth is that attackers don't care about you or your company. They are interested just in your wallet.

Para equilibrar a autonomia do usuário e a seguran?a do sistema operacional, é necessário adotar uma abordagem estratégica que satisfa?a ambos os aspectos. Estabele?a políticas de seguran?a robustas que permitam flexibilidade controlada, como o uso de permiss?es granulares e autentica??o multifator. Eduque os usuários sobre práticas seguras e a importancia da seguran?a cibernética. Implemente solu??es de monitoramento e resposta a incidentes para detectar e mitigar amea?as rapidamente. O compromisso entre autonomia e seguran?a deve ser baseado em avalia??es de risco, garantindo que a seguran?a n?o seja comprometida, mas que a produtividade dos usuários seja mantida.

The essential for stuff is that security is not only on a global level, but much more on the individual level. As much stronger security is applied to the individual that much the global security will be enforced. This is not a rocket science. The stuff just need to get good training and follow the rules. The frustration will gone over the time
