I messed this one up all on my own ... cept I did get 8 right . just now .. but ... I still would have missed as I got ahead on my answers ... that is a techie move .. rookie ... ugh ... 30 years .. still doing the same thing... @"kpina" this puzzle was fun! Thanks for working so hard for our lovely community ... VM Ware…

Happy Birthday!!! Can't wait to see what you all have to announce!

I want to add one more thing to thing about from my perspective!! I was talking the subject with my husband over the weekend, and he brought up the similarities to the FCC. Does anyone remember when anyone could put up a radio station? There were mom and pop radio stations everywhere!!! When the FCC (Government) stepped…

Is not every day a vacation at THWACK? !!! Again ... that grass is always greener on the other side of the septic tank!! (my favorite Erma Bombeck quote!)

Congratulations! I just clicked on the link... I thought you were already Evangelizing!! Well deserved @"ChrystalT" I could not be more proud of you and your continued contributions to our community. Have a THWACKing day my friend!

I like what you say .. I am very frustrated ... have to act like a 5 year old to get people to listen... it finally worked .. we have a line item this year .. security assessment .. it is a start ...

Between the tools that my employer purchased and the tools that I have because of my MVP status.. I am rocking the house!!! I have never looked so good!!!

I am hungry now!!!

There’s some polymorphic In our Summit – I wonder how it got in there? It’s hijacked the network It’s ordering laundry With its hooks in the firmware Wreaking data sorceries It’s scanning all the ports On IOT devices Its propagating everywhere Creating financial crisis But we see it in the network flows The fan-out makes…

I just got to read " 4 Types of Idle Cloud Resources That Are Wasting Your Money​" and I have added this wonderful information to some of my documentation. A couple of years ago "THE CLOUD" started popping up in conversation. Most non-it individuals really did not understand the concept and theory behind "THE CLOUD". I was…

I can totally relate; I have matured as an employee (I still refuse to grow up!). I have taken a different approach, and it has made my job so much easier and enjoyable. I no longer pop off to what I might think are irrational requests, and I now say, "ok" let me checkitout. It has allowed a bridge of trust to develop…

Ya'all need to hook up with my friend!

Learning SQL Sentry! I have it up and running rather well, I am having authentication issues (annoying SMTP alerts) - it is an amazing tool, developing with our soon to be database administrator, or database administrator in training. Because I was quite familiar with DPA, I have made a smooth transition, but could use…

I knew I forgot something... I absolutely love your picture!

Agent sevices!

Would you believe ... if the media does not cover us, we are good to go!!! I am in a very difficult situation, that suits me well. I started here 6 years ago. The network needed attention, they did not really have any internal monitoring, it was a full Cisco Shop, and we were paying a 3rd party to keep an eye on interfaces…

Awesome! You all only go forward! Good luck! So .. the logo.... SW Logo w/ teeth marked in 0's and 1's... huh!!! whadouthink?

Happy Birthday ... excited for the announcement .. hope I don't miss it ... work is getting in the way!!!!!!!!

Now where in the heck is egg #4

I recently had the privilege to talk to a very savvy gentleman that now works for Space-X. We had a lengthy conversation about cyber criminals and cyber security. All of the points you listed above are dead on! I can't stress enough to keep systems patched, disable telnet, keep AV up to date and use a good L7 firewall!…

Toto!

I upgraded today. I found this upgrade to be the most efficient of all time! I fixed my 2019.4 deployment thanks to the THWACK users quick response to my so very simple issues. I had my DBA run a backup of the SQL database, I cloned the Virtualized Application server (I am so very fortunate to be able to run NCM, NTM,…

I am amazed at your dedication @"sqlrockstar" you never cease to amaze me! I think I push a little harder because of you ... you have no idea your influence. 

Nice information - got me to go watch!

Nice @"lbeavs"

So bummed.... I have a prior engagement; I knew I should have flown to London!! 

Thanks for sharing @"rschroeder" your story is inspiring! 

Tried to correct my typos and punctuation... sorry ...

The only social organization I belong to is THWACK !!! (ok .. I have a LinkedIn profile .. that is the end of the line though)

Good information - I love the bullet points - I HAVE TAKEN THIS INFO INTO MY SECURITY PILE. You know.. I met with Palo Alto today .. and as we were discussing security .. I realized that I had finally impressed upon our management to spend some money on security. Why did I have to act like a buffoon ... more than once .. I…
