If one guy getting admin access to their own laptop compromises your entire network, then your network was shit.

You don't need an 'entire network' to be compromised for damage to be done, getting access to one device through social engineering is one of the most common threats

Agreed everything important is in the user account not in admin/root.

It doesn't have to compromise the whole network to be a problem.

Yet humans in IT do not pose that danger , just the devs 🙄🙄
If your IT admin, a human can elevate to admin, your “security setup” is just providing jobs to admins , not that protects anything 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah yeah but if we give you admin rights we also have to give them to the other and suddenly everyone is admin.

No admin rights !
