Along the same lines as Windows Admin Rights for Software Engineers.... Our workplace recently decided to push down a policy for Symantec to scan for Reputation risks - any software not defined by Symantec's large community of users is marked as a WS.Reputation.1 risk and will be deleted. Add to that if found multiple times you get automatically disconnected from the workplace network. We write software for our INTERNAL use only, for testing our products. It is not "sold" to the general public. So IT wants to know the EXACT spelling, the EXACT paths, and have the source code to review to make sure we are not writing malware instead of our jobs. A few of us got banned and it took 8 business days to get computer access back to "normal". In the mean time I got to organize my file cabinets ... They put the "delete" and ban on hold for now while they try and figure out how to make it work... For now I rename my executables to OUTLOOK.exe, POWERPNT.exe :-\ So how does your workplace handle this ?
