Slashdot Mirror
Don't Network Administrators Require Privacy?
An anonymous reader writes to tell us that Recently their company has decided to move the IT staff out of their offices to make room for the Service Department. The move has placed the IT staff in cubicles that all face inward and lack, obviously, the ability to lock their doors at night. This is, to them, an obvious breach in security and privacy for what may be sensitive network information. Have any other Slashdot readers dealt with this sort of problem before? If so, what specific information was best suited to rectify these security concerns?
FIRST!
Dumbest Ask Slashdot EVER.
It's not an Ask Slashdot, it's a Whine Slashdot. The question is really a rant that can be summed up like this: "shit, some exec nicked my office and I was put in a cubicle instead"

Arrgh! Someone lifted the rock I was hiding under!
Oh No, me and my IT brethren are exposed to the light!!
What will we do? Woe is me, we live in cubicles now.
Geezus, install cameras, lasers, death rays, etc. if you're that paranoid.
I can think of twenty ways to lock the computer down 100% without bothering "/."
In fact the last several stories I saw about IT security had to do with corrupt IT employees, not users.
Go ask a "hardware guy" for some ideas then.
sheesh
