    See if you can refrain from deflecting and add value to the convo.

  18. I think you're adding a lot more to my example than is necessary for me to make my point.

    I'm simply stating that infosec doesn't nothing to address inside jobs.

    He told me to look at the logs and tell him who printed the porn.

    I informed the guy that with over 500 users who could choose any printer on any floor, that was not going to happen.

    Kinda like Manning walking in with a Lady Gaga CD, erasing it, and populating it with shit, and walking out.
