I guess bare chested is maybe an over exaggeration. But some chest hair is visible and some are loud and proud with it for laughs it seems.

If someone had a problem with it, I would like I think I foster a group that can come to me for things. Nobody has mentioned anything yet. But also since you brought this up, is it appropriate to police chest hair?

I think your approach is fine and good and correct. Just perhaps allow for us fragile womenfolk and our frail constitutions!

Well, I don't think its so straightforward as that. I also don't want to assume someone is fragile because they are a certain gender. I also don't want to police necklines for any gender.

Obviously telling people to not wear robes is fine , even if the entire topic is kind of pointless.

I’m being more than a little facetious, in case that wasn’t clear.

Bathrobe = fine if not the most professional thing
bare chest = maybe put on a shirt
Errant chest hair = impossibly arousing, take it away before I cheat on my husband and dishonour my father

Hahahaha. Oh man. Infra has kept telling us that they fixed all the Log4J vulns, despite not even having a complete list of all servers or the services on them.

Qualys finally updated to be able to check for Log4J. loving 300 vulnerable Log4J versions found.

The fact that Infra doesn't even know everything that we have drives me nuts. I've been asking them to figure out how to get a proper list of everything for a couple years, and only NOW are they going "you know, we should have all of this in a list somewhere..."

YES YOU loving SHOULD. I want to know what we are running so I can have a script check each service for known CVEs so we can patch out all the existing crap that you guys have ignored!

Yeah, this is way more complex than "find the running service." What's your job if not to help Infra find the exploits? Certainly doesn't sound like patching them.

In our company, we (infra) are not responsible for what services are running on each machine. We will work with security to implement measures to run a whitelist, and install any agents they want to use for inventory management, and patch applications not owned by developers, but not dictate what can and can not be installed.

We still had to take some time figuring out where all our log4shell stuff was hiding despite us having a better than normal way of managing instances. Some stuff like container registries and cloud native services isn't something you can just inventory without cloud vendor assistance

InfoSec was only set up last year when we went public, and we have been scrambling just to get the company to pass all the audits and certifications that the company has been asked to have. This time last year, the InfoSec department was two people - we have just hired an additional 6 people in the past six month, but getting the tools and getting them integrated is taking us time.

The reason that Infra is solely responsible is that they have held sole access to the server infrastructure until just recently, and we are still finding stuff that they "forgot" to give us access to.

Lol. No. Infosec can install their tools, we’ll open up the ports/service account access them as appropriate, but they aren’t getting domain admin/global admin/whatever. I have been tasked to clean out the elevated access groups prior to our soc2 type 2 renewal and I am pushing hard for infosec to lose their elevated access so only infra people have keys to the kingdom.

There is no goddamn reason for them to have the access that they do when their job is to set policy, monitor systems for vulnerabilities, advise, and inform on best practices. They have enough tools to tell them what’s up; they don’t need domain admin to do any more investigation that shouldn’t already involve infra in the first place.

I agree with this. I'm not asking for admin into these accounts, read-only is fine. We just need some way to know what the hell we are trying to protect.

Not quite a full wind down, but here's my story:
PE-owned company made a few acquisitions, and my company was one. A few years later they had a consulting group tell them a bunch of competing platforms was bad from a business efficiency standpoint, so our campus was shut down and division consolidated. They offered $5k to stick around something like 18 months and $10k to relocate. I felt that if they had already budgeted $10k for key people, I had a pretty good chance at $10k just for sticking around.

Here's how it played out:
"Hello my new VP, my campus is getting closed down and you need me to put in an awful lot of work over the next few months to move our hosting environment. Can you provide some incentive to not take a new job in the middle of this move?"
VP: "Sure, I'll see what I can do."
A few months pass and the move has started.
VP: "Hey, it was tough but I got your retention bonus bumped up so you get it earlier."
"I thought we could discuss. Can we continue negotiating?"
VP: "This was never a negotiation."

I expected at least a conversation, and all I got was a "we made a token effort that didn't cost us anything extra." No actual negotiation took place. I would have given them an extra year, but instead, I left within 30 days of the retention clause being satisfied.

What I learned:
It doesn't matter if you are hot poo poo or the company's single point of failure--you will not be dealt with on equal terms if they don't have to. You are not a partner, you are a worker bee.
Come with specific demands so your desired outcome is unambiguous. If you think you won't have enough leverage, recruit coworkers to join forces.
Deal with accountable people if possible. My VP was the next state over, and he didn't have to talk with me if he didn't feel like it. That would be much harder to pull off if he saw my smiling face every day.

Welcome to the company where I work, where we have found servers that were listed as decommissioned years ago that were still racking up AWS bills because we're so loving siloed that people left the company while waiting for someone else to do another part of the decommission and nobody ever finished the part of the guy who left.
