I keep seeing this news but did they abuse the surveillance system during their heist?
Otherwise it’s just some blame game within the current negative mindset by keep bringing this up while it doesn’t even matter.
This from a 11 year old security audit has nothing to do with the recent heist other than demonstrate that at the time of the audit they didn’t have the funding to hire good information security people.
You should be employed for the marketing and social media department for downplaying that so well.
And if you’re wondering if these problems were addressed in the eight years since the last audit (2017), Libération, did some more digging and discovered the museum was still running outdated operating systems as late as 2021.
I can’t find it now but there was also another article about the evaluation of the most recent audit saying the Louvre spent more money on acquiring expensive art that upgrading its security.
The article is about Southwest Airlines. Maybe a bad copy/paste?
the Louvre spent more money on acquiring expensive art that upgrading its security.
Arguably that’s what the Louvre’s business is. I’d argue they need to work on their security, but as we in the industry all know, failing a regulatory requirement, getting more budget can be quite an uphill battle.
