Firewalls

My work decided over the weekend to lock down everything outgoing except port 80. This is the same place that requires "new" passwords every month. And requires papers in-triplicate before assigning people laptops.

Because clearly any determined internal attacker won't think of printing anything out and walking out the front door.

Haha, sounds like my current company. They locked down all kinds of stuff, yet the password restrictions are such that I could brute force any one of them in less than a minute.
