Ah, the age-old battle between security and convenience. Might as well just unplug the whole organization and call it a day.

Signed macro requirements? Isn't that just a fancy way of saying, 'No more fun macros for you'? I bet the legal department is gonna love that one.

Firewall rules creation? Really? That's like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. C'mon, security experts, give us something a little more practical.

Controlled folder access and signed macro requirements? Sounds like a security nerd's dream come true. I bet the legal department is just thrilled about that.
