I'm just not seeing the threat that TikTok poses. Is there any explanation that contains evidence?

I have an insurance questionnaire asking if I have a deployed EPP.

I honestly have no idea.

Is Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Identity, or the rest of A5 Security considered an EPP?

Starlink prices are decreasing (and increasing). Can't wait till I have fiber and can drop this crap.
Can you limit SharePoint Online permissions here to a single SharePoint site, or is there another place where that granularity can be done?

I need an SFTP server on Windows Server 2022. I want something that is (a) supported in theory and (b) supported in reality. If there is a security vulnerability, I don't want to wait months for a fix once the official OpenSSH channel gets the fix. I also don't really want to manually update it; automatic updates are better, which should be an advantage of using the Microsoft implementation.

I have no history of Microsoft's implementation. Do they patch it in a timely manner? Or is it something they introduced and then neglected?

What is your opinion on the OpenSSH server built into Windows Server? Does Microsoft take care of it promptly?
What the hell is the name of the OneNote executable? This seems to be a mystery. Everyone says it's something different.
Government agencies: "you can have macros but no TikTok plz."

I have to block access to TikTok and WeChat.

This is going to end up being a PITA with nonexistent ROI. I haven't seen any substantiated evidence that these services are significantly more of a threat than any other social network.

At least on Android, the app needs *zero* special permissions to function if you're just viewing videos. If you make a video, it needs standard file permissions to do so.

Even if the TikTok app repository were suddenly taken over by an attacker, I don't know that the immediate threat would be that significant -- because, again, the app permissions are currently insignificant.

I may well be missing something, but I just don't think there is much risk with the TikTok and WeChat apps as we know it. I especially feel this way about TikTok because all of its data, to my knowledge, is already publicly available.

TIL PaperCut can be installed on Linux. Tempting.

It's just that I wonder if printing issues might be even more rampant since all the clients are Windows.
