Excellent point!

The more we add to the security onion. The better. 

Interesting article.

I agree. I have recently had an issue crop up whereby I had to implement some other tools to drill down to the actual individual interface level trying to resolve a random latency issue in a remote part of my WAN. So, in essence, I am having to double poll the router and affected switches which of course adds to the…

Helpful!

Informative posting. Thanks I will keep this as reference.

I was thinking the same thing. I too navigated through NCM and got to the point of adding profiles but the system told me my answer was incorrect.

+1 as I can see how this can benefit multi-tenant and compliance needs.

Interesting article.

I bookmarked this post as we are starting to look at PCI and I want to have some reference material. Thanks!

Interesting and educational post. Good food for thought. Our critical database servers are still physical but we have a number of smaller database servers that are virtualized. 

Part of the perks of events is the people you meet, but alas I will not be attending. Take good notes and tell us all about it.

Interesting and helpful!

This is suddenly a big deal. If they would have followed procedure, IT…

Good question. Any comments?

Thanks!

Interesting history as we are moving towards wave 2 802.11ac...............

Good information.

The toolset is beneficial. Thanks for the post!

Good information!

Thanks for the information.

Thanks for another bunch of great articles. Good reads.

Hmm, had not thought about that scenario. Thanks!

Looks like an interesting tool.

Good article. It would seem that we could apply our LEAN principles of continuous improvement and as part of reviewing and asking questions about the data to actually modify what is stored and/or collected. That way we are not overloading what is collected but actually utilizing the data that is being collected more…

These are the kinds of posts that really help enforce the need to be both technical and be able to communicate to the business regarding the world of IT. Making hard visual data like this helps to ensure buy-in by both the local IT staff as well as the business stakeholders. I think I will discuss this with our SAN…

Community -- thwack community -- has been super helpful and educational.
