Some of my colleagues investigated weird lockups of trains and found evidence of undocumented DRM that triggered if the trains were serviced by 3rd parties and not the manufacturer. There will be a talk about this at CCC later this year.

It was the password manager For The Rest Of Us for a decade or so but they were extremely bad with security issues for a while and eventually about a year ago it hit a critical mass of "yeah, They probably have your vault and they probably can decrypt it if they care to" and I had to spend most of my free time for like a week migrating to 1Password

They actually were rather clever but didn't obfuscate the code hard enough to escape scrutiny. Any office software anti copy protection I've met beside microsoft or adobe is far more crude.
I will wait for that English report, some of the PLC code explanation made me scratch my head (I worked with PLC kit but the way they explained how that specific model operated code-wise was a bit too chaotic for me) and I want to understand it more.

I was thinking more from an forensic/legal perspective. The fact that they didn't disclose these features in the documentation to certifiers and then put checks in to stop government approved maintenance with multiple federal train operators in multiple countries...

Yeah they're hosed

The geofencing and the built-in timer that they coded the dates wrong on to disable the train between certain dates should be enough of a slam dunk that they’d do everything possible to avoid going before a judge.

I wonder how many other Polish rail operators have had issues with the same manufacturer and are waiting to sue them.

I was more of making a joke as only a small part of the org right now has the ability to install software. I remember my CISO specifically wanting a list of people with brave because they were automatically suspect before the wild west times ended.

About to pilot Yubikeys. Anyone have any tips or things they wished they'd known?

All Windows/iOS devices using Azure ADEntra ID. Issuing nanos to keep in the machine and a Security Key C NFC (FIDO2 only). Doesn't look like we can enforce any PIN complexity even on the self-service add to Entra.

Give everybody two keys, one to keep at home, so they can still self-service when they lose one. Unless your deployment is aiming to run them alongside a phone app.

If you have a 24x7 helpdesk and can verify that people calling in are who they claim to be and issue access passes or whatever then you don't need to lean so heavily on self service.

give everyone, at the minimum, one nano-style key for every corp-issued workstation, and one keychain-style one. do not lean on making people plug crap in every time they log in - instead they should just be giving up one usb slot at all times to a permanently-plugged-in nano-style key

if "always have something plugged in to a usb port" is a problem, well, you see how that's a problem even if you're expecting people to fumble with their keys every time they log in

getting a new (unenrolled) key should be absolutely trivial

Thanks, we are going to do a nano for every machine and a keychain for home for everyone. Definitely want to make it as slick as possible.

I will make sure the new key thing should be trivial--are you saying no scrutiny whatsoever if someone loses like 5 of em? Just trying to figure out what the bad incentive is (other than having to use access passes).

Any tips on how to have our helpdesk verify people to hand out a Temporary Access Pass? We have an MSP and even now they don't really scrutinize folks who move to a new phone and need to re-set up Microsoft Authenticator (which will go away). They should have an idea to be better but I'd love to show them what high-functioning looks like. Can't really think of much other than pre-shared keys (distribution would be a problem) or verify calls some way, which is exactly why I disabled SMS/phone verification for MFA.

This first bit, and charge people for a new one if they lose both.
Also, if you're on Entra and using some kind of MAM, let me know if you find a way to make them play nice with Android phones. I was so close to mandating these as the only MFA choice before I figured out that I'd be locking executives out of phone email.

Not really - if someone has lost both their tokens and access to their password reset methods then you probably want their line manager to be vouching for them before you hand over the keys to their account to whoever happens to be on the phone. You could do things like insist on a video call where someone holds up ID but then you're dealing with PII and it's an MSP so you don't really want that.

Are there third parties who handle this? Someone must work at a place big enough where ID verification is outsourced and they use ID photos that are stored on file to verify people, like how some banks work before letting you open an account.

Thanks everyone for the tips. Will let you know how it goes. I agree mandating managers have to vouch would be best.

We're lucky to sidestep this because we pay for company phones and they're all iPhones and work decently well with InTune, at least for what we're doing.

I don't know if you mean charge their department or what, but I would not charge employees for lost/broken equipment. It depends on the state, but there's a good chance that doing that is against the law.

The cost is minor. It's a cost of doing business. Don't try to punish people by charging them money for work poo poo.

Agreed with the above, loss or destruction of company property is a management issue and not something for IT to start collecting money over. If someone making fistfuls of cash for the company gets through a laptop every 8 months because of the amount of travelling it does either wears it out or presents more opportunities for it to be stolen then that's just a cost of business.

I am required by my state to report reckless losses that need to be repaid

I have one very rarely done so, only very rarely is it completely unavoidable that the loss/destruction was due to something that never should have been considered in the first place

Yeah, the only time I can recall that anyone was ever even punished for it at my company was when they left their laptop on a train while logged into their account and on VPN using the train's wifi. Every other time was way more "poo poo happens" and the price the employee paid was "work sucked for a bit until they got their replacement."

i specifically haven't bashed an employee for something like this because we'd MUCH prefer to have the employee feel safe coming forward promptly to alert us of the loss and potential compromise

nobody really ever MEANS to forget equipment somewhere. You have to do something particularly wilfully dumb for me to sigh heavily, staple the loss's police report to documentation, and forward a notice to our business office

It was their third equipment loss and they didn't come forward at first, somebody got to it before the screen locked and kept trying to go to blocked websites, so the web filter team pinged their manager, who went and found them working on a desktop instead. So part of the bashing was absolutely "you've done this before and you know how it works, why didn't you tell me?"

In general, yes, I agree with you that the priority is that the company knows what happened, and that having an open and nondisciplinary process is the best way to ensure that.
