Re: Dilemma
My main problem is that most of these people are script kiddies in a suit
I was contracting at a place where one of these muppets turned up. He was there to do an in-depth security audit of the grid I was running.
After a couple of weeks of probing and, dear $deity, so many meetings, he came up with a firm plan to ensure the security of the grid. We had to move everything from CentOS to RHEL.
There were a number of issues with that grid[1], but that wouldn't have solved any of them[2].

[1] One of which I deliberately put in place, because I had to build a bespoke application in 2 weeks, and I simply didn't have the time to do it properly.
[2] It would actually have made things worse - these machines very deliberately had no direct Internet access. And there was no budget to set up Satellite or similar.
