One chestnut from my history in lottery game development:

While our security staff was incredibly tight and did a generally good job, oftentimes levels of paranoia were off the charts.

Once they went around hot gluing shut all of the “unnecessary” USB ports in our PCs under the premise of mitigating data theft via thumb drive, while ignoring that we were all Internet-connected and VPNs are a thing, also that every machine had a RW optical drive.

    Some corporate BS screen lock application that replaces the built in Windows feature. It would take several minutes to log in because of that.

    Fortunately you can kill the process with taskmanager and prevent the screen from locking entirely. Lol.
