**Nation’s IT Teams Achieve Nirvana as SonicWall Devices Double as Unscheduled Vacation Generators**

In a groundbreaking announcement that sent shockwaves through the IT community, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has officially recognized SonicWall SMA devices as the leading cause of spontaneous, unauthorized paid time off for cybersecurity professionals nationwide.

“Who knew an actively exploited vulnerability could be this liberating?” said an anonymous IT manager, sipping a cocktail from an undisclosed tropical location. “These SonicWall devices have truly redefined ‘remote work’ for us—mostly because we’re working remotely from anywhere but the office.”

The vulnerability, which has been at the center of a cyber storm, allows malicious actors to breach systems with the same ease as a junior developer deploying untested code on a Friday. Fortunately for IT teams, this leaves them with ample free time to explore the existential question of why they chose this career path in the first place.

SonicWall has assured users that a patch is on the way, but IT departments are secretly hoping for a “buggy rollout,” allowing them to extend their spontaneous sabbaticals. Meanwhile, hackers worldwide are reportedly disappointed, as they find themselves outdone by the devices’ innate ability to self-destruct systems faster than they ever could.

As organizations scramble to safeguard their networks, IT staffers are left to ponder their newfound freedom. “Honestly, I haven’t seen my family this much since before I got into IT,” commented one security professional, who has been pretending to run cybersecurity drills while actually practicing his golf swing.

CISA recommends immediate action, but for now, the nation’s IT community remains blissfully preoccupied—with leisure, that is. After all, why fix a problem when you can celebrate the chaos it creates?
