there's an easy fix. it could be done with a single boot attempt if M$ hadnt made it so needlessly difficult to enter safe mode
Many of the machines in question will have safe mode walled off for security reasons anyway.
fair enough. i can see that disabling safe mode would be a decent security measure. but by the time that kind of exploit is used, you've already got bad actors inside your network and there are much easier methods available to pivot to other devices and accounts.
Laptops are often taken outside the network.
Well then obviously you could opt to restrict safe mode on laptops only, or laptops and desktops allowing you to get your server infrastructure up quickly so at least the back end is running properly.
Ffs.
Servers with KVM access, could have it compromised, letting bad actors enter safe mode.
If your RMM gets compromised then you have much larger issues.
Doesn't need to be fully compromised, but it isn't unusual for the access credentials to some portion, to be stored on an easier to compromise system. Disabling safe mode on a server, prevents stuff like a single compromised laptop, from becoming a full server compromise.
