THWACK Monthly Mission - April 2018



With a baseball cap and polo shirt
and eyes always on alert,
you will find him in the basement
always checkin' all the things.
People stop and pay attention
when he tells them to beware,
'cause everybody knows that
he's the data breach prevention mayor.

Data breach prevention mayor, data breach prevention mayor.
Searchin' and a hunting' and a checkin' everywhere.
He can find a breach before it brings unwanted fame.
That's why they call him “The Preventer,”
that was how he got his name.

You can take a tip from The Preventer
that there's nothin' like privacy.
'Cause keeping data safe 
and locked away is key.
You just have to look around you
and you'll find it's not a joke,
to see what you'd be missin'
if a hacker made your company go broke.

If you've ever seen the news
when a data breach is running wild,
and you worry about your personal data
like a mother worries about her child,
then you know why The Preventer tells you
when he sees you passing through,
“Remember...please be careful....
it’s the least that you can do.”

Remember THWACKsters, only YOU can prevent data breaches!

Our goal with this month’s mission is to increase your awareness of the consequences of data breaches as well as introduce two SolarWindsRegistered tools that can help improve compliance: Log & Event Manager, log management software for security, compliance, and troubleshooting, and Patch Manager, intuitive patch management software for quickly addressing software vulnerabilities.

Good luck!
