Yes sir.

We have "security" people on each of our teams. I am on the network team and security is a collateral duty for me. The Windows (Core) team and the Unix\Linux (C2) team each have people who are concerned with security for their respective teams. Often we collaborate and provide each other with ideas and fixes. Sometimes we…

"Pick your battles wisely, and then stand your ground" Know what you are really looking for, you know, the stuff that is important to your specific enterprise. Now monitor those important things. Now you can see the grass through the weeds.

As always, I enjoyed the read. Good reasons for getting SRM up and running.

I'm your boo, I like that!

Absolutely! Chain of custody is essential if you want to press charges.

Well said datachick​. Empathy goes a long way in cultivating the Human connection.

Really enjoyed the securing of the hackable video cameras. Mitigate wherever and however you can.

Continuous improvement has been around since Demming and TQM. The idea was valid then and it still is.

Being on a classified government network, the insider threat is priority number one. Well written article. Thank you!

1. Amount of training required by staff to utilize 2. Reliability 3. Cost

Teamwork

Another great selection of reads.

Excellent read. Thank you.

Good write up. We have controls in place to ensure we don't get DDoS'd. We have a 24/7 external team that monitors our perimeter. Firewall\IDS, traffic. I really like the idea of doing the fire drills. We already do that for Antivirus and Phishing.

Great write up. We are still using 2010 at work, and therefore at home. We do a lot of technical writing and I can see where the collaboration tools would be very useful.

Well said.

Gotta love snapshots.

User training should always given a high priority. Security problems expand the higher you go up the OSI model, with people residing at Layer 8.

This looks like a daily conversation between me and our Windows folks. Always interpreting what they want.

The lab was very cool, but they don't pay their people very well.

Agree completely. Considering that most of our work in completed on classified networks, BYOD has no place.

Great write up. This sounds like my coworker speaking. Our sysadmins were delighted when he showed them all the metrics that could be monitored.

Congratulations to the the week four winner, tinmann0715 , and the Grand Prize winner, martinstenner​. October is here. Ready for another contest.

@"yumdarling" 18 across I mispelled. Any chance for a reset? Also, I sent you an email about 16 across as well.

Did you have logging turned on?

Congrats to pcollins07​ and jokerfest​. Looking forward to the November Challenge.

I would have to say I belong to both camps, versatalist and specialist. My career has been continuously moving from one stepping stone to another. I actually started with main frames, moved to HPUX sysadmin on thicknet, PC repair on 10BaseT, Windows NT Sysadmin, Novell sysadmin, Windows 2000 sysadmin, Cisco and Juniper…

Understand and internalize.
