The HIPAA concerns are very alarming. And I agree with the spirit if the article. However, I'm not sure the article is correct when it says Recall cannot be disabled. I've already seen other articles telling you how to turn it off. The fact that it's opt-out and not opt-in is a huge issue, though.
The problem with it isn't that MS says it can be disabled, because like everything MS does it breaks its own rules constantly. I have worked in HIPAA environments and making systems block potential MS systems is a constant cat and mouse game only accomplished by firewall appliances that don't have MS software in them
Who the fuck is making a Firewall appliance with windows software on it. Some *nix or BSD or custom bare metal kernel is what a firewall should be. You have to have very low level access to properly secure traffic on a network. Microsoft often breaks the OSINT Framework ffs, I'd never trust them as a firewall.
How do you feel about companies that use windows server as a router and VPN solution?
