    But I also understand IT security is dramatically complicated by user’s working on their private network connection.

    It really isn’t.

        I work in telecomms, major strategic projects. I dont have an office to return to, for 9 years I have had no office. My computer can be wiped remotely amd requires 2fa to connect to the vpn.

        We have never had a security incident that wasnt someone’s laptop being stolen.

        Dont boot lick. This is not rocket science.

          So how did those laptops get stolen? Would that have been possible if their users worked on a local client at the office?

          Rocket science is a fucking joke compared to secure IT practices. You saying that, proves that you know neither well enough to participate in this discourse. Most users would operate more securely if their client device was also physically restricted. If you don’t understand that, that’s the reason you are not making decisions. I’m sorry to be so blunt.

          There are highly capable technical people that can securely work from home, but this is not the average user. If you don’t recognize that, you are probably just cheering for your own personal comfort right now. I get comfort, but don’t be blind to reality
