Brand new UCS mini for one of my closed networks (so I can support the existing VM's and add then add NPM, SAM, NTA, NCM, SRM, and maybe Virt Manager. A new audit server too with tons of SSD's in it for a start!

This is very interesting because for an attack of this scale to be really coming from legitimate sources says this one HUGE infection o.O! It'll be interesting to see if it really was IoT devices or something else trying to disguise itself as such.

Nicely posted meech​! I like how you dated the request in the headline too... definitely a good idea! I'll be looking for the UX team in Phoenix this month! I think kbongi Kristin is coming this time!

Great recap Kevin!

Knew you'd get it Stuart! Bill

The main thing and most important simple thing I'd tell myself... "YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS!" - The simple key is just letting the customer know that your concerned about their problem and you're trying to help. Also this means just telling them with status once in while that "YOU ARE WORKING ON IT!" I've…

I liked the articles this week. That cooking in water thing sounds really promising. I think I may need to maybe get one of those things.

I didn't have much trouble with the questions... Dave's hint does help he posted as well.

Watson was one of the sidekicks.

An extremely popular mobile app called "LINE" is huge in Asia. We used to use to manage our guild in a mobile game Arcane Legends... actually it's still being used but I handed the guild I started over because it was just just taking up too much of my time and $$$. My tag for the forum was pretty neat though... You can in…

This is what I want too!

I actually didn't think it was that difficult. Oh I see what you mean now... yesterday not today's.

I'm really concerned... now they're talking about moving to O365... I'm not excited about it at all. The only good thing is the mailbox size I think.

Liquid Death is actually a canned water company. They sell water in big tall black cans.

That's pretty much it... we have hundreds and hundreds of drives in our many NetApp and EMC disk arrays.

Going with Brian too!

Pictures or it didn't happen!!!

You hit the nail on the head Thomas! The cloud is so dependent on the network working right through every f/w, router, and switch (or 1 of n load balancer) at every hop along the path... this is a complicated problem if any of these hops have "issues" once or on some horrible hard to nail down frequentness (hey I made up a…

Like Jfrazier says this goes way beyond Health Care. With RMF coming down in Fed space one of the new requirements is crypto for all data at rest. This includes CD/DVD's that are burned (hello Roxio Secure Burn) and also all hard drives and storage. Any data in motion that goes beyond a secure enclave is already encrypted…

Geesh when are people going to realize that all data removed from any network should be encrypted? Laptops included with full disk encryption!!!

Isn't this dependent on whether serials can be read with snmp. I know even with Cisco devices this isn't 100% consistent... I suppose that's no reason not to try. I have reports that list them for Dell Servers and Cisco devices but I don't get them for all. Also some of my Cisco devices have 40 serial numbers if you…

Not like we don't use it every day right?

This is true and mandated now under RMF... better tools are helping to get the job done finally.

Whew so far so good!

That's pretty good Kellie dang!

I completely agree! Now you can have your career ruined just for hitting on the wrong person.

I think I saw that too... they were referencing bank transaction processing I think... basically to replace the clearing that VISA does it would take more power than the planet could provide to clear the transactions with bitcoin ledger. Something like that which really makes zero sense. I also read that the newer virtual…

yeah but it's funny anyhow... lol!

Ansible and YAML seems like a possibility... it's agentless which I like.

NESSUS ftw!
