    So what should a decent IT department do to give developers the access they need to do their job while maintaining a decent level of security?

    Give them a Linux machine?

      This doesn’t remove security and compliance requirements for the business though. For our Linux endpoints we still deploy an AV on them and limit the user’s ability to add exclusions.

      You ever worked in an average corporate job? You’re missing out on so much

      The IT guys barely know Windows, they’ve most likely never even heard of Ubuntu, could you imagine such a thing :|

        As someone who does exactly that right now. Yes.

        You need a Linux machine in a separate network with separate firewall rules and the developer has to devote a bit of their time to managing that machine.
        It can even be centrally managed, if you have the capacity.

        But why would you want that? To secure your shit while allowing the devs to to what they like to their equipment.
