Also: don't trust your employees to boot into safe mode.
Trust a 3rd party to freely install system level files at any time.

I knew how to fix the computers at work today in the morning, but we couldn't get through to the help desk to get the bit locker codes for each computer until near the end of the day.

Exactly. This is exactly the problem, and unless people wisen up the software security problem is only going to get worse. Companies and Governments need to rethink how they approach security entirely. This is a preview of what is to come, its only going to get worse and more damaging from here, and none of the vendors care.

It is easy one for goverments. Ban security through obscurity. As well proprietary security software.

The government likes proprietary software. They are never going to ban it.
