Just when you thought it was safe to move along to other technical topics, along comes Scott Quimby's Hardening Active Directory Part III to scare you even more.  If you haven't watched Part I and Part II, you can find them here.

We are so focused on our networks being breached and the bad guys gaining a foothold to steal our money and personally identifiable information that we often forget is that we as techs can make mistakes and inadvertently give away access to sensitive/confidential parts of the network.

The reality is that your network is under attack.  We need to protect our servers.  We need to protect our data.  One way we do that is by not remoting into servers to do basic tasks.   Almost everything we need to do, we can now do remotely.   Also, we can do many tasks with a more limited ID than a true domain admin account.

I can't tell how many times I have heard from non-technical Mac people that, "they don't need anti-virus." The Apple person that sold them their Mac told them that. I have pointed out that Apple's technical folks make a strong recommendation for anti-virus in their technical documents despite sales claims to the contrary.
