QFMFTIf he's the CEO, there's not shit you can do. He does sound fire-happy though. Also, having everyone's information stored like that (the "vault" usually means "top desk drawer in his office") is a security risk through and through.
I do this shit all day at work. It's always keep this secure, keep that secure. But then the high up retards want everyone's shit and they store it next to their Starbuck's coffee in their unlocked office.
MOST business management these days is half-retarded when it comes to I.T. They don't understand the processes, and they don't care, then they bitch to me when shit gets cracked. Friggen bitches.
We have sales guys come and go daily. As system administrator, I can reset anything that needs it quickly and easily with no need for passwords.
As a Network Admin, I dont trust End users. I dont trust themselves with themselves. Sure as hell not giving it to him. I would speak with the director of IT explain to him how this goes against best practices and is a foolish idea.
That is incorrect. I am an IT auditor, and its a big red flag when the CEO has this type of information. We generally recommend CEO's have NO access to systems other than what they need. CEO's think they are entitled to this information, they are not, and its a big security risk.
IT if anyone should be collecting the info for logins and credentials across the various systems and tools. Hes a CEO he runs a business. Let him run his business. Information and Data continuity is the job of the INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT. In my situation, if the CEO, which sits 1 row over from me, did have my login credentials, do you think he would know how to get into vSphere and keep an organization running?
IT should be doing this pre-flight check. Not the CEO. I've never even heard of this. If someone leaves, I can check their email by going into the Exchange server hosted on one of our 100 VMs. Like the CEO would know about it.:rollseyes . Through there I could access all of our vendors, affiliates and partners and their contact info as well, seeing as how it is all integrated into Office/Exchange. This is stuff you need another IT guy to even facilitate so I dont see going the extra mile and giving it to him. There needs to be a board meeting or the Director of IT needs to step up and not let his boss or bosses boss(Most IT Directors go through the CFO) walk all over him. Wouldnt Do It/FAKE IT.
Giving out the password to login to my comp would probably get me fired, so this seems strange to me.
Yeah but suddenly against all advisable knowledge and sense they want you to do it anyway? Yeah not giving it to you. and im looking for another job. Shady Mofo.:nono:
