We recently made a change from a CISO who was hired then sent to a SANS seminary to be our CISO to bringing in an industry leader in the field. IT is amazing the attitude shift towards security in our organization and just how far behind we were.

What does this data really mean? So often, different groups want to know this piece of information or that piece, but few ask for the whole picture. So we set up a threshold on all databases or db servers, but if the data is silo'ed, a threshold passed on this server may be a sign of a bad thing, but on this one it is not,…

Done

One of the disappointing things about my adventure in proactive monitoring is the fact that too often the Acceptance is the enemy of Innovation. Too many times when a threshold is passed or an availability number is not hit, the Line of Business would rather move the number than improve their application / infrastructure.…

To me there are IDE's better for specific languages. Most of the time if I am doing Javascript or HTML I use NotePad ++ Android Eclipse ADT Java Net Beans Net or SQL (not really coding, but...) Visual Studio

There have been a couple of projects we have tried to move to "the cloud". We have returned those systems to onsite do to issues such as above as well as the impact of availability from things such as DDOS attacks.

It's funny how these threads get off on a tangent and ...

Done

We were wondering the same thing as mharvey‌

In the category of you guys don't have to do these contests and I appreciate all the hard work and generosity, but... I really wish you guys could avoid YouTube as a video solution as I am sure we are not the only company that blocks YouTube indiscriminately

VPN, Citrix

Yeah, I missed both days, but hey, its just a game.

As far as fact checking goes, I've long said Facebook needs to add a Snope's button

Kinda surprised the Wiki Leaks dump on the CIA did not make the cut this week.

+1 for Case Switch

wow. I am surprised it is that low.

As someone whose job is in large part automation, I found the video intriguing, especially the ending. We are definitely in a place where we could either go Star Trek Utopia or Hunger Games dystopia. But an education on automation, would be great for the $15 an hour minimum wage crowd as McDonald's could easily replace…

The Bracket Challenge is definitely one of the best parts of Thwack each year.

We aim towards the balance. HA is something we strive for with redundancy an strict SLA's with our providers. Usually if we have an issue with availability it goes to the service provider. We had a situation where an engineer at one of our providers, we won't call them by name. Let's just call them Earth L or E Link for…

I think Brexit mirrors what we have her in the US, two distinct almost 50-50 cultures. For the rural producer, Brexit will be a boom, for the urban comsuming Londoner it will be a bust as the flipside was true with the initial joining of the EU was a boom for the consumer Londoner whilst a bust for the rural producer.…

Alexa may be able to wake you up to music, but very soon she won't be able to launch YouTube.

Every project is a funding nightmare for us. I feel sorry for our sales rep at SW, I feel like every time he quotes us something, we jerk him around. Well, I am getting jerked around and I just have to pass it along.

Documentation is the key. Whether it is comments in code or a knowledge base in sharepoint, it helps to not reinvent the wheel and also to not skip over the easy obvious fix.

Thwack stepping up their game on prizes...Please, Lord, let me win the switch.

I really like these. Now if you could do a 13 part series EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT IT I LEARNED FROM THE 13 DOCTORS

Please tell me it includes movie all server side Orion Administration to the Web console.
