There’s an endless amount of things that “could go wrong”, and no possible 
limit on the amount of money you could spend trying to mitigate these things.

Security is about managing the trade-offs between “getting things done” and 
“risk”.

Is leaking source code the biggest risk you currently face? Maybe it is, maybe 
it isn’t…I don’t know.

Subject: Internet access from development machines [OT]

Team,

I have heard of suggestions that internet connectivity should be prevented from 
developer machines in case a security issue causes a leak of source code or 
similar.

I know some defence companies have two computers on the desktop to prevent this 
from happening.

Outside of defence, what are peoples experiences?  Give developers internet 
connectivity?  Have two machines?  Maybe give them a remote desktop connection 
from internet.   How many developers in your company that have internet 
connectivity?

Thanks in advance
Dave A
