Yeah already...
I've been pointing this out a bit here before, but I'll write it outright.
It is dangerous to have a wireless LAN function on your company's laptop.
This is because anyone who has access rights to a dial-up connection can use it to communicate outside the company.
Additionally, even if you use pocket WiFi, you will still be able to communicate outside the company. This is from my work laptop.
However, the notebook PCs for sale are made that way. Here's the problem. It's not possible to remove the board or anything like that. All in one? This is the problem with modern society.
Well, first of all, it's prohibited. Dial-up connections and pocket WiFi are prohibited. This is because there is a possibility that confidential information will be revealed.
Now.
How can I avoid it? ...There's nothing I can do now. This is where I got into trouble. This is because the products they sell are designed to be wireless LAN compatible.
Therefore, we need to seriously take measures to actively and proactively take action at the civil society level.
As for the specific measures in my area...I'm placing a special order from a PC manufacturing company. A PC without wireless functionality. Ordered it. It may even be better not to refer to it as a corporate PC anymore. Even if you say it that way, you might end up in a situation where you wonder if you would even sell a PC like this. Well, it's still a possibility.
Or change to a tower PC here. Everything. If it is a tower, there is no wireless LAN function. Change your router to one without wireless functionality.
Now.
Still, I can't shake my doubts. After all, these days, even small smartphones like this have wireless functionality. You can also tether here. Maybe even on a tower PC. Tethering is a smartphone service that uses smartphones as an intermediary to communicate wirelessly. You can connect it to your smartphone via USB and connect it to the internet wirelessly.
If it's clever, it could even be an electronic component. It's this size for a smartphone, right?
Personally, I used to think about computer research institutes, and non-computer companies, erm...for example, food? Is it related to banks? This is the establishment of a research institute jointly funded by companies unrelated to computers to investigate the internal structure of computers in the public eye and confirm their safety. ...It's an inspection agency, right? With the research institute. Software research, of course. We established a research institute as a research organization that conducts research on this subject every day, and established it with joint investment from non-computer-related companies. I feel like it would be better to do this.
Now, I'm going to take a photo of the base. And what about all the circuit boards, from the capacitors to what? Blueprint? Write and record information.
Also, the Mechanical Products Research Institute is a research organization that investigates mechanical products. It's about the parts system. Eavesdropping, voyeurism, and WiFi functions. There is no guarantee that it will not be in the machines you see everywhere. Is it like factory machinery? There is no guarantee that it will not be included. Here, too, I took a photo of the board and recorded the circuit diagram. I have previously written about the idea of establishing a mechanical products research institute with joint investment from the private sector.
I think that if we do what we can, it will become more like a surprise survey, and the public will become more agitated and fewer strange incidents will occur.
Computer Institute.
and Mechanical Products Research Institute.
These are the two pieces. It is an inspection agency and an investigation agency. It will be established in the private sector with joint investment from only non-electronic equipment-related companies. Of course, it would be nice if some countries were inspired to establish one. It's a deterrent.
Isn't it better to use USB? I can do tethering. It might be better to use different terminal standards for the mouse and keyboard, like before.
In addition to this, I also wrote an article that states that you should not set SMTP, POP3, and so-called email settings on multiple PCs at work. I want you to read that too.

This one is also quite dangerous. This is not a security issue, but a breakdown in business negotiations with a business partner.
