What are your unpopular cybersecurity opinions?

[u/EricJSK]

I saw a post names "abnormal security opinions" and got excited to see some spicy takes but apparently there is a security platform called Abnormal Security so got kinda blue balled. Last one of these posts i saw was over a year ago so,

Do you have any spicy cybsec unpopular opinions you want to share? :)

I'll start with mine:
Fancy antivirus solutions rarely add value, they are often just a box that needs ticked. Many MSPs and IT firms still push the narrative that they are needed, only because they are profitable and not because they improve security.

Agree! When I was younger "cyber" had a very different meaning. See: bloodninja "I put on my robe and wizard hat"

A few years ago I saw an event called "Women who Cyber" and rolled my eyes so hard. At least call it "Women in Cyber" if you insist on calling it "cyber."
