Thank you for this.  I suppose I should have included the caveot that my rant applies mostly to early stage shops which are aren&#x27;t ready to build out and ship a shiny new dev machine for every employee.  Another problem for smaller startups is that if you&#x27;re not careful almost everybody ends up being &quot;blessed&quot;.  And simply being a senior sysadmin type doesn&#x27;t mean that you&#x27;re automatically immune from all forms of social engineering attacks.  I suppose your point is that even very early companies should opt for standardized hardware, I think you&#x27;re right.<p>I &lt;3 Duo Security.
