It means they will buy whatever security product the supplier who gives them the best night out recommends. Have it deployed on everything with the most basic configuration by someone who’s never used it before and then call it a day.
Bonus points if it causes WAN and internet circuit problems because it’s shitting out logs or constantly downloading updates to 1000+ endpoints.
“Security” as in securing just enough of a budget to pass our audits.
The master lock version of security. There is a lock on it so it ticks the box for insurance but a strong fart is enough to break the lock.
