You needed to scroll down and look at the details of the key features (clicking on each one).

congrats alundberg‌ !!

The 80/20 rule is a good thing... Find what you do all the time that is repetitive and see if you can code a solution to make the work easier..low hanging fruit. Once that is done, and well documented (within the code and in the groups documentation set in a 3 AM friendly format) then you go to the next one. Some thing…

Be sure and keep the electronic forms of the documentation in a format that can be read on any platform at any given time. For some things a simple text file is all you need. That can be read on pretty much anything. For other types you need something a bit more graphic in nature...so jpgs or pdf's may be the way to go.…

planning and mapping is key....also knowing your application load on a drive.

It is a very useful tool but not always able to be fully realized. For example due to certain types of businesses you may not be able to set up a dummy transaction to test/validate/simulate the user experience. Being able to at least gauge the business service is up and accessible is in itself extremely useful. The…

don't forget to get your community strings before discovery...

sounds like a good opportunity and an easy way to get points...

We need a Thwack button !

There is a point where separation of duties fractures the ability of a company to do some things efficiently. Granted it does help to keep certain responsibilities where they belong and prevent others from overstepping their bounds... Finding that happy point is difficult and over time can be even harder to maintain as…

Currently reading a sci-fi kindle book called Cyberstorm (Mathew Mather). It deals with an immense worldwide cyber attack that effectively shuts everything down from the perspective of a family in New York during a massive snow storm. Apparently 20th Century Fox is developing it for film.

It is hard to dodge the pointed finger or CYA if you don't have historical data to back you up. Excellent story and I am looking forward to the next installment.

EBeach​, understood...I am usually answering while the coffee is brewing because the half pot I drank on the way in wasn't enough.

"REALLY ?!!"

An excellent and thought provoking topic. These days trying to keep the intruders out is becoming so much harder with the number of people attempting to get in and their automated tools to do much of the work for them. Although I am not sure how far is too far to go in terms of what we have to do to watch for and mitigate…

Wednesday #bumpsquad​ bump !

Congrats Jeff Catlin !!

If we could only go "Back to the Future" and bring back a few Mr. Fusions, we'd have all the power we need for powered armor. Then we can concentrate on rail guns, gauss guns, particle beams, and high power lasers.

Reliable ? I can't agree with that one from experience...not yet.

Another #bumpsquad​ bump !

whomever gets the Deathstar lego set needs to get the Alderaan lego set to go with it.....

@"gadders" the points should be out some time this week according to Danielle.

The 4 fields as I have been able to determine are as follows (top to bottom) First Name Last Name Email address ThwackID

I agree it is a pain to document while you are troubleshooting...but when it comes to recalling steps later or to put into your RCA (root cause analysis) report as to what you did, you''l be grateful. Sometimes that becomes a procedure...it sucks to be following a procedure and a small crucial step has been left out. It…

yes but...you have to build that into every alert. then if you change the window, you have to go in and change very alert. Build a named window of time and refer to that in the alert....then any modifications are made in one place...one place only.

Sweet, it slices and dices, but does it julienne as well ? I agree UAC is a big pain....across many products.

* Event and logging\correlation tools to present current service levels to a web page to prevent multiple phone calls from hitting the helpdesk. works great in theory...but with national and international distribution of branches not always practical. Now event de-duplication and correlation on the back end...great ,it…

I see a common theme here... Many of the new attack vectors are opened up through convenience and the mass public being lazy.

that is legal law enforcement agencies...

Hopefully that won't be the phrase of the day!!!
