I submit there's no need to even use the term "DevOps." It simply means doing the job the right way, including the right people, staying away from isolation by silo, working towards the desired outcome. None of this should be new; none of this should be necessary to say. We're big girls and boys, now, playing in the adult…

Blameless Reporting is the mark of a good environment. It's part of being professional, and it shows your team and organization have good people-skills. When finger-pointing occurs, individuals and teams may tend to obfuscate or cover-up problems and their true causes. This results in the inability to find, correct, and…

Never ending upgrades. Job security at worst. Better futures at best.

That was nice VAR service!

That same style would be perfect for full or 3/4 wet suits, too.

You only "used to" have a time machine--in the future. You were so much younger then--you're older than that now!

That's a goal for my organization to shoot for: " . . . hold regular training classes with our teams and upper management of other teams to demonstrate the interface and ease of use." I like it!

I'll respectfully disagree, and offer the opposing view that IoT devices should be delivered "closed" instead of "open". Users who are unaware of how to properly configure devices for best security are half of the reason IoT is a hot topic in Security circles today. The other half of the reason is IoT manufacturers…

Turkey Bump!

Next it'll be SDZ's (Software Defined Zombies) Oh wait, we already have those . . .

Towards the negative potentials for a Gibson/cyberpunk result, all one need do is review Saturn 3, a 1980 movie with Kirk Douglas and Farrah Fawcett. It seems a logical step in film production after seeing HAL in the original 2001 movie.

Bump!

One would think that being able to either intercept or interrupt this traffic would be high on the opponent's list of goals. Is this environment and technology safe enough from interference that troops and decision-makers can place their own lives on? If so, COOL!

Why would Orbitz's loss of customer credit card and PII data be news? For the simple reason that people continue doing business with online companies whose security is vulnerable. It's convenient. My wife just discovered credit card fraud on one of her accounts--fortunately she checks them regularly--and was interested to…

Reminds me mightily of the B.O.F.H. and his activities and reactions. Which made me laugh out loud over the years.

Yes, I have imagined it. And I've put together a spreadsheet listing all the systems that must be changed when someone senior leaves. TACACS and AAA are particularly helpful time savers. If all or most of your access occurs through RADIUS or TACACS checking AD group permissions, much of your work is completed as soon as…

I believed the points for this were all awarded by January 7 or earlier. I participated daily, and saw them increment accordingly. If you didn't receive points, and your entries were submitted within the deadline, check with adatole​ and ask for assistance to see what didn't work as you expected.

Tell us more about your specific vision. How would Logging & Event Management be of better service for you with these new features? How would you deploy them, leverage them? What could others do with these new features? (You've gotta make it plain, got to sell your idea so everyone jumps onboard & votes it up--AND so SW /…

There are some interesting experiences tracked here--please add your results to the poll:

Yep. Absolutely! He thought they were hilarious.

O, Ransomware, Ransomware . . . Wherefore art thine Karma.

That's EXACTLY what my environment used to be--management layers, funding strategy, training budget, etc.! Fortunately I had a boss who supported me and FOUND training funds for me (I was the only Network person here for 18 months, until I got Management to understand the need for more staff--and now I have a team of 6…

Getting the right information over the right amount of time is the challenge, isn't it? If you poll a node every two minutes, you could build an alert that fired if an interface was at 100% three or ten times in a row. But by that time the users have already called the Help Desk to complain, if that interface is their…

I like the idea. Is there any concern with resource exhaustion, either on WAN pipes, routers, or APE's? It seems that a large network with many routers and WAN pipes that are already heavily utilized could be additionally stressed by this. Routers may be doing a lot of work already, and although Netflow isn't doing full…

I don't see anything about Change Management in those steps, and it's an important part to include BEFORE an action as well as to reference Change Control records AFTER an incident. Then the PIR or RCA needs to take place (at least at my business) for documentation and knowledge share. Humorously, you might have added "9.…

Yes, I live in a rural area, too, and have no problem leaving doors & windows open/unlocked. Well, except for the bears. But once someone's attached to the Internet, their IoT and personal data is no longer in a neighborhood where folks can be trusted. It'd be a shame to have an unprotected (and unknown/unsuspected)…

That exact scenario is why my company won't reuse user accounts/names.

I was surprised with a few of the trends, and I suspect popular fiction/culture (video games, and movies like Harry Potter), creatures came out on top that probably would have been losers pre-Tech Bubble. I'm thinking specific examples: * Mermaids were known to be flesh-eating creatures, while centaurs were not. But pop…

I'm continually impressed by your work and your contributions. And I learn something interesting every time you post. Double plus 1's to you!

Imagine how popular larger (American-style?) vehicles might become in Japan, for renting but not driving. A full-sized mini-van or conversion van or cargo van could be home to SOHO meetings, corporate offices, seasonal vacation quarters, and more! I can see it now . . .
