Taking my company's Security training... One of the rules was don't download unauthorized programs.

Find except we're devs so if we really need a program we could write our own that does the same thing

But yes lots of things mentioned we shouldn't do that well I think any sane person would do...

Wondering are they trying to make everyone quit or is this like double speak?

Do all companies do this?

    I worked for a company that blocked access to Ubuntu repos for servers I was maintaining. It was hell getting work done there.

    Depends on your company, but honestly you can probably get away with downloading what you need if you can justify it. I worked with a guy once who installed Linux without partitioning, and totally bypassed our (shitty, slow, unnecessary) security software. It was causing NPM installations to run for like 8 minutes, and where does that time get billed? Lol

    They lifted that ban on engineers when It got tired of being hounded by devs for admin rights to install tools... So basically make it a daily nag, they give up 😅
