I have to assume you are joking.

Enterprise "security product" culture is just terrible. These things are sold by slick salesmen and do more harm than good

Why limit it to "security product"?

You can ask anyone who uses Teams at work and they'll say it applies to all enterprise software.

I don't know what the answer is when balancing user acceptance/ease of use and business needs.

Teams in particular recent had a massive security breach where the client could be drive through exploited to own whole orgs and any org connected via guests, right?

I use teams. It works well. Mostly. I like it. Mostly.

Same here. I do understand disliking Teams if you have used the more clunky alternatives, Skype for business for example. Overall though, I find it more useful than before if only because the cultural change it’s leading in my company where more direct communication is now being encouraged instead of Japanese business emails with 10 extra lines of boilerplate and extreme business language tacked on.

Security products are sold for security rather than other useful stuff like messaging, so it's really useless if it's insecure.

um, what?

Honestly wouldn't expect much from government systems that are built by whichever contractor has the best connections and lowest price rather than best code.

Its clients included 425 of the Fortune 500 and the top 10 US telecom companies. https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/15/22176053/solarwinds-hack...

That is a negative, not a positive. The amount of breaches, fraud, etc. that has happened in that category is insane. Would you say the same if it were Equifax?

The point is that the problem is not with how the government chooses vendors. Equifax has nothing to do with it.
