Idiotic IT Security Team

I know that IT security is becoming more and more a necessity, i have been told so many time since 2020. But when you are working in IT security your job is to make sure that the company does not get hacked, get company information leaked and so on, your job is not to make life a nightmare for the IT supporters/Helpdesk when you are shutting down the Command Prompt (CMD) and PowerShell, so employees not working in IT can't access it and to top that up, whe you are only making it an illusion that you can't enter the Command Prompt (CMD) and PowerShell terminal it just strikes me as stupidity, because the first thing I try as an IT guy is try finding a way to access it from a normal user because it's pretty useful.

And i did, by simply right-clicking on the Windows icon in the taskbar and then clicking Terminal. I want to say "good fucking job on your success with closing down the terminal", idiots. But this was not really the topic i wanted to write about right now, it was just to add some back knowledge, so you can understand what i am going to tell you next.

The other day i was playing around with Git to learn it, since some of our employees where i work, works with Git daily to keep track of versions they make with SQL projects. So I off course installed Git and sat down, learned it and mostly forgot about it haha, then I recieved a mail from the IT security team, that they can see I have a version of Git that is vulnerable and he would like me to uninstall it, to basically download it again from the platform Heimdal, which is basically a full on control system, that let's you keep track of employees computers and much more so that's a great tool. But the thing that he tells me to basically unstall Git that I have just installed from their website a couple of days ago, which is the newest version and then install Git through Heimdal instead is just fucking stupid who the fuck cares.

Well the IT security team does, because they don't know shit, the only reason i want to install Git through Heimdal is because, if I want to update to the newest version of Git whenever it's available Heimdal has already done that for you so you don't have to think about it, but that's not what the IT security team told me, no they told me the version was vulnerable, which is a straight up lie, he forgets i am working in IT too, yes i do work in the helpdesk which is in the bottom of the foodchain when it comes to the IT industry, but that does not mean im stupid and don't know shit.

Advice to IT security teams out there stop lying and stop pretending you know everything about IT security, when i know you are just using ChatGPT or Google to search up how to make a company network safe. I have more topics on IT security team that is straight up stupid and exposes them for being ignorant or stupid or just not fit for the job.
