104I believe the employee is well within his right to complain in such case. Just thought I'd add that. Also when talking about "trusted parties" who are you exactly referring to - do you have any reasons to trust them beyond the fact they told you they're trustworthy, etc?– user173641Commented Jun 21, 2018 at 15:52

96If I wanted to steal another employee’s credentials to, say, snoop through confidential company data, sabotage employees I don’t like, or cryptojack our computers in a way that someone else takes the fall, sniffing logins to an http intranet would be a good way to go about it, dontcha think?– HopelessN00bCommented Jun 21, 2018 at 22:44

14What's your threat model? Employees attacking the company, the company attacking the employees, employees attacking each other, third parties attacking the employees, third parties attacking an employee and pivoting into an attack on the company, ...? It's hard to evaluate the cost-benefit of a security measure without knowing what you want to defend against.– Jeffrey BosboomCommented Jun 22, 2018 at 2:38

57I must admit the guilt of a little trolling excursion. I have spoken on behalf of the organization while I am the guy complaining. Your amazing reactions may help convince the IT department to do something :D Thanks everyone!– Robert CutajarCommented Jun 22, 2018 at 12:13

8Note that for US government agencies, internal encryption of all traffic is generally mandatory, and likewise with government contractors. The highest profile breaches of the last ten years have all been insider threats.– Todd WilcoxCommented Jun 22, 2018 at 20:06

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. web-application), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
