Description: Lethargy in the context of technology can refer to the slowness of a system when overly restrictive policies are applied. This phenomenon occurs when the restrictions imposed on applications and processes are so severe that they negatively affect the overall performance of the system. Security tools that use profiles to restrict the capabilities of programs can lead to inefficient resource usage if not designed properly. Lethargy can manifest as slower response times, frequent freezes, or high CPU and memory usage, which can frustrate users and decrease productivity. It is crucial to find a balance between security and performance by adjusting security policies to be restrictive enough to protect the system but not so severe that they negatively impact user experience. This concept can apply to various technological areas, where the implementation of security or control measures can lead to a decrease in operational efficiency if not managed properly.
