IT Lao Shit is an IT guru. He is so old that the First Computer remembers him. He saw the birth of the first computer virus and watched the growth of the internet. He knows all about data protection. He gives free advice and teaches young admins. He invented his way, the IT Dao, the way of virus-free computers, strong passwords and secured information. Here are some of his life stories.

Once a Purchase Manager asked Lao Shit:
- We have got an offer to buy a strong access control system. Is it worth the money they ask for it? Will it help us?
The IT guru asked in response:
- How many unauthorized access events have you noticed in the last three years?
- Not a single one, - answered the Purchase Manager.
- How many notebooks and pendrives have your staff lost in the same time?
- Two laptops, - answered PM, - and we cannot even count the number of flash drives they’ve lost…
- Why won’t you buy a system of encryption of information for laptops and flash disks instead? – asked Lao Shit

Once a Young Admin got a wish to make a gift to his teacher. He brought him a beautiful Windows wallpaper.
- Why do you think that my current wallpaper is worse than this one? – asked Lao Shit.
- I do not know it, there always are so many windows open on your screen! I have never had a chance.
- I’ve never seen it either, I work.

Once a CEO asked IT Lao Shit about insiders’ threats. Lao Shit said:
- There are hundreds of men in the outer world who wish to draw out confidential information from your network. And there are five other men there who are able to do so. But those hundreds will never meet these five.
After a second he continued:
- There are five men inside your network willing to get confidential information. And there are hundreds inside who can do so. And they have already met.
