Any monitoring solution is a living thing...it is never finished as it evolves over time. Now with that said, certain phases in it's lifecycle may be completed.. * initial install * deploy sam * upgrades/patching at some point you will be integrating new products into it and revisiting previous phases in the name of…

HumpDay Bump !

dang...I guess I need to start scheduling it on the DVR.

esther where are you seeing the difference ?

We provide customized views to the various teams....so they can see the data and have a dashboard to help them in their daily work/troubleshooting ventures.

Congrats deniseglucas !

They drop a "phishing" test email out from time to time.. No mystery shopper here being a finance company.

Probably just bad wording...or my interpretation. I agree that weak passwords are more easily guessed/brute force hacked. Of course the dictionary attack when a known hash to password relationships exists. In some breaches the full text of the password is exposed so regardless of how strong or weak it is being in plain…

Just wait...they'll be in contact with you.

DanielleH​, I found it.....somehow I missed the date range on the one column. 

No problems here.

I always enjoyed the HTCPCP (Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol) enabled coffee machine that would send a trap when the brew cycle is finished... https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2324.txt Then there is the COFFEE-POT-MIB http://www.oidview.com/mibs/0/COFFEE-POT-MIB.html

well it was the 70's....

either way it is fowl...

it was a jeep.... https://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/

Your lab should be realistically close to your production environment to test your patching and other activities.... The one thing I see missing is backups...especially in Ransomware events. Gotta have good tested and validated backup and recovery just in case....

the closer to the top you get the harder it is to get past others...

I see that I am not the only one working late...

There is another layer I didn't see represented...a business service that has two way dependencies on another business service say through some middleware such as MSMQ and/or MQ. Are the queues backing up because a service is having a problem ? Is that other service that is supposed to be pulling data from the queues…

I wonder how many lost hours there will be at the office for those that want to experience the eclipse...

Hmmm, for some reason I thought we had an MVP forum but I guess I must have been dreaming. Great idea ! I'd vote it up.

Well that is pretty much what has been happening in the non-government world too but is only one layer and not enough by iteself. Getting away from "known ports" and locking most everything down can be disruptive. Adopting the "least privilege" mantra for user access can also introduce fun and mayhem especially if it…

Exactly!!

Interesting to note on the skimming article. Many skimmers are physical hardware overlayed onto existing credit card machines and in this case was malware or software derived skimming takes us away from some of the physical checks we can do to see if the device has been tampered with. Kind of makes some of the things like…

I just typed in the answer with no problems.

that works too.

hump day bump rebump bump !

I agree with basically everything already said so I won't say it again. But also noteworthy security starts with every individual. Those that access the network from the outside (customer) and on the inside (employee). All it takes is one not being diligent to open up a door to exploit. The sad thing is that most people…

No, but at some point my grandfather had gotten a 5 or 10 MB hard drive for his TRS-80 model 1. Now, later in life I took a 10MB Radioshack external hard drive enclosure, popped the drive out and put in a 100MB SCSI drive and plugged it into my Mac LC.
