THWACK MONTHLY MISSION - SEPTEMBER 2017



The supreme art of [cybersecurity] war[fare] is to subdue the enemy without fighting. – Sun Tzu *With added geekiness. 

Young THWACKRegistered-hoppers, your mission this month is to master the art of Security Kung Fu. Those who master this discipline will be better equipped to defeat IT security threats. Enemies you may face on your journey to impenetrable IT security include malware, phishing scams, compliance violations, or even internal threats. However, you will not need to fight your enemies alone. Accompanying you on your journey is SolarWindsRegistered Log & Event Manager (LEM)—a SIEM that makes it easy to use logs for security, compliance, and troubleshooting. LEM is highly skilled in threat intelligence, active response, and real-time event correlation. To complete this mission, you’ll need to work together to move swift as the wind and closely formed as the wood. Attack like the fire and be still as the mountain (– Sun Tzu).

Good luck!
