Thanks maria.bungau‌, I was able to figure it out. It is not wuite what I expected but points is points.

Pretty much what rschroeder​ said !

Congratulations to all the winners !!!

ROFLMAO !!!!

Ah...communication between teams. Usually when we have a big issue of the sort the various teams dogpile and look at it from various angles and then we have a meeting to discuss what we have found.

Ah...this brings up several points that many people don't think about. The more you monitor the more resources it takes and the more impact it has on the environment you are monitoring thus now your server statistics are skewed. Secondly, just because you are monitoring something doesn't mean you have alerts set up for…

Gartner is a tool... I know some companies that live by it, if it is not in the quadrant you can't buy it. If you don't do your research to see the viability of whatever product for your situation, then tough noogies. For me it is a starting point to see some of who is in that playing field. The google searches of those…

I third mcam​ comment and second rschroeder​ comment !

There is a way to do that now....but it is not preserved when you perform upgrades or certain other actions. Thus this needs to be a supportable and maintainable feature.

Depending on the model of the quad, the larger models transmit telemetry on battery status, location, altitude, gps location, etc. and such back to the operator. Most are designed to "return home" when battery reaches a certain point of discharge. Some of the smaller ones just "drop" where they are at. I know the phantoms…

We use it between building and some sites.

Congratz to am3​ !

I am glad that as far as IT I don't have to deal with HIPAA data.... On the other hand I do outside of IT. Then we need to think about how our HIPAA data is managed by those who have that data.....scary at times.

time or personnel assets. If I don't have enough time I need more people. It's a delicate balance.

predictive technology works well with known problems....it is the new unknown problems that haven't been encountered before that can't be predicted and may not be seen as a problem until we "teach" the machine what the problem looks like.

It also needs to provisions for breaches. If the cloud vendor doesn't have things in place and a breach occurs, what responsibility do they have in losses that occur to your data or your company because of the breach ?

What about the generic job titles that cover several functions ? What exactly is a systems management engineer ? In some places it was a systems admin role. Other places it was a monitoring tool admin (Orion, Openview, Unicenter, OPS/MVS, nagios, BMC, etc.).

bumping for the weekend !!

Knowing the level of communication related to change internally and the lower level of communication with outside vendors related to change and the resulting problems/outages, I foresee challenges in coordinating changes/patching in the cloud world as byrona​ mentions. Not everybody on either end of the equation understand…

OMGosh Yes !! I hope somewhere in there you have a periodic full backup...the current trend to just have deltas or things that changed may not allow you to restore to a point in time.

revisiting an older idea that still has merit.

Hey I was there for Hermine bump and wasn't sure if I was going to make it back for my daughter's wedding bump !

Good points... In the future, some of the science fiction I have been reading lately involves hacking...such that an encounter ship to ship is not just fought with "weapons" but also hacking to get at the other ships computer network, hack the computers in the missiles/torpedoes, etc. Even back in Star Trek, The Wrath of…

Looking forward to see the new stuff.

I update a modification history section section in the script with date, mods made, related ticket, and initials of person making change. Keep it 3AM friendly so you can understand it at 3AM.

This capability would be good and could be extended further as specific portions of the MAC address point to certain types of devices... This makes it easy to determine if that unknown ip is a rogue access point attached to your network. 

Hot diggity, off to a new mission with some great prizes !!

Could be....in the end it is likely to be a mix probably weighed heavily on the fun side.

This is potentially a good thing for us as we have sites in all the time zones here in the US including Arizona that does not adjust Daylight Savings Time which can cause some unexpected behaviors at times. This especially comes about when unmanaging a device for patching. This may be something that could also be tied into…

" Once security teams finally abandon their self-centered need to be a gate, grinding business to a halt, we might actually see progress that will make our jobs truly rewarding. The aim isn’t to increase the security budget, but to collaborate with a team to improve our workplaces, our organizations and maybe the world."…
