Precisely the steps taken here. Additionally, we do a lot of review surrounding port 80 and port 443 traffic egressing the network. We try to keep like requirement applications into groups for monitoring and management.

THe compliance part of NCM is an excellent tool.

Intriguing thoughts.......

Anyone else read this and have a sense of déjà vu while reading this article. I can recall a time with Cummins Diesel was using satellites to obtain telemetry on motor performance in Semi-Tractors. But this appears to be "Twinning" at a whole magnitude greater. Being someone who has done some development with IOT devices…

Thanks!

Good information. Thanks for sharing.

Not in an environment that is using VOIP at this time but this is good reference material for the future.

So the only truly trusted connection is the one that is marked as Shut Down? This has been an interesting topic...

Agreed. Can almost see them smirking at us! Make sure to tell us all about it! 

I like the course this is taking. I was not familiar with this line of products. I can see the benefits. May have to look at adding some additional modules.

Interesting post. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this information.

After 34 years in the IT field and most of it spent in Field Service, the one resounding fact that the first visit to a new customer was to map everything out. Some clients were confused that I was not just fixing the issue with the servers or endpoints, but when I explained that I could just single in on the pain point or…

Unfortunately, in all the IT environments that I have worked in there has not been an "overall" toolset implemented. It seems that the overall business had some sort of ERP system and that the IT department had to use a separate tool for each area and try to bridge to the ERP but never actually making the integration.

I find it interesting that as computing power has increased, and application development continues that there are not more tools like this in the marketplace. Particularly since TCP/IP has been with us for so long. These tools would be beneficial in analyzing applications before they are fully deployed in organizations. It…

Funny, when I was in manufacturing eons ago and SOX was just introduced, those exact words were told to me by our Internal Auditors. Great Minds!!!!

that would help me provide upper management views into the metroE utilization as well as between switch stacks without having to pop up another tool.

Good article.

These are the types of post that I was looking for on this site. Things to help me fill in some blanks in the security world. Thanks for the post!

This article reminded me of a consulting project I worked on many many years ago. I was hired to be a function documentor for an industrial firm. My duties were to document every function in the machine-control library that was developed for a particular CNC machine. Then, I had the responsibility to develop the user help…

I have worked with lots of companies and the hardest task I have encountered is getting them to standardize. I remember one company that it was a status symbol to have a printer local at their desk. This ended up have 800 printers. With only 20% of them being the same model. Toner purchases was a nightmare. I used some…

Informative posting. Thanks.

Thanks!

How deep a groove did you smash into your forehead on the edge of the keyboard before you figured that one out? 

Interesting thinking. Having a common support method would be great but I too agree that security would have to be paramount. I like the logic that you are following though. Thanks for the article.

Interesting.

Have to admit #6 made me chuckle! Thanks!

We need more helpful posts like these. Thanks!
