"The security information and event management (SIEM) “an approach to security management that combines SIM (security information management) and SEM (security event management) functions into one security management system.”
Security information and event management systems address the three major challenges that limit rapid incident response:
The vast amount of unaggregated security data makes it hard to see what’s happening and prioritize threats.
IT teams are understaffed/undertrained due to the cybersecurity skills gap.
The need to demonstrate compliance takes time away from threat identification and response."
OOOF!
We had ancient Netgear router (supplied by carrier/Verizon) and updated couple of months ago. Installer was to return older router to Verizon for our credit but was blown away how old and outdated it was. He laughed and said it wasn’t worth anything and he would dispose of it at office.
To bad we didn’t wait for FBI to put it out of its misery.
So CP/M emulation and Turbo Pascal COULD run on this. I used a Z-80 Card in an Apple 11E and ran Pascal on it for a class at JC long ago. The lab at school had nothing but PCs. I worked full Tim over the hill in Santa Clara and night class was in Santa Cruz that made for. Avery long day but inescapable if I wanted to code and do printouts. So the 11E got me through, saving hours and hours of traffic..
Audio sucks but at a scrum for statements from Taiwan's Vice Minister of Defense Andrew Nien-Dzu Yang 2013 in DC. It's inaudible but he states Taiwan is read to challenge PRC attacks with asymmetric tactics. Could this mean devices already exist to disable TSMC and other manufacturers in case of invasion?

Have a “top-of-the-line” pw mgr with 2FA activated with all the bells n whistles (but I don’t use all of those things that make online life “easier”) anyway - periodically I export the db cvs and store it on a remote encrypted cloud, an external hd, AND import it into another pw mgr I subscribed to for a year just to test it out - one thing about pe mgr 2 is it uses authenticator - better than a text/code. My God, in these 27 character pw days, depending on any ONE service is foolish. Also, at least on iOS, one can use the Safari browser to download a pdf copy of the db and save it ON MY PHONE som no cloud needed.
Nothing is free and FUSE is mot nothing. It’s nothing to pay something for something but that concept becomes a mob scene of reflexive users whose ideal is “free” stuff, that overcomes even wee pangs of guilt or considered thought, and damn any rational process that stands in the impatient stampede.
I still have some minor biz back in the home country so a tiny but necessary ckg account keeps me in the frantically urgent update msg loop. When an employee at the institution cut and ran with a ton of customer data, the solution boasted of the “well known and highly regarded” infosec US company Experian’s services that were offered free to customers for like, 5 years. I asked some old homeboys and girls grabbing the free stuff if they had ever heard of Experian. A resounding nope.
No thanks to Experian and its rue. I am, at least daily, appalled at the sloppy [internet] habits of my “boomer” friends. Most, I’d say 95%, have no comprehensible idea of what a vpn is or kinda how it works. Yet while I rant wearily and futilely about security and spend some precious pension funds on it, they blithely log into any old free wifi spot, and conduct [their] family financial matters at an order [or two] of magnitude greater than my pittance. This is truly a new meaning for “open source”—that is a rich petri dish for scam after scam, and Experian.
I use Carbon Copy Cloner (for years) for weekly total HD backups on 2TB HD locked up in a safe - and it’s bootable. Also use Mac’s TimeMachine 24/7. Of course my Mac is not a laptop. I travel a lot and use my phone, even for MS Office if I need to write something Cloud: iCloud, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive. And a paid password manager. IPhone was ripped off two years ago and I watched my phone migrate around the District of Columbia, with me posting messages, etc. After 24 hours I locked it. Day after that I wiped it and had my carrier kill it.
Sorry about the MacBook. Maybe an honest person will get hold of it and you’ll get it back.
Took up programming late 70’s as a machinist/tool maker taking on programming 4 CNC machines. One “perk” a tool purchase program by employer deducted 10% of cost off bi-weekly paycheck. When I moved on from my personal hobby VIC20 (learned BASIC including a Commadore ca$$ette tape!) bought as a tool Apple IIe loaded with printer, mouse card and mouse, 140K floppy drive, color monitor. Justified by finding bare-bones software for geo and trig calculation for work.
Then got a Z80 card so I could run CP/M and Turbo Pascal when I enrolled for a night class in Pascal. School equipped with MSDOS PCs only but a working guy with two very young kids, horrible commutes had no time to hang out in the labs. I would develop my school assignments at home then take my printout/listing in and re-enter and compile my Pascal to submit. There was no way I could have submitted online. Awkward but it worked. And the machining? Eventually convinced cheapskate employer to go with a machine programming package running on Windows.
The engines don’t “stall”, the aircraft does—if the angle of attack goes too high - all a problem due to the repositioning of larger engines for the Max that increased tendency of the nose to be pulled up under high power conditions (takeoff) - this in turn due to Boeing’s urgent need to cut lead time to deploy a new plane that was similar enough to previous 737 models it cut training times as Airbus had leapfrogged Boeing with a new model. Thus a botched and unfinished compromise. Maybe fixed now? I’m taking a boat.
Yes true Play reports to devs. However, the D/L stats from the sketchy DVI service is high value. 1. The users are, as cited, likely to have download security switched off even after install has completed. 2. DVI drones provide tons of intel: 3D Geolocation, video, various attachments that are available. Not that EVERY non-play install forever compromises a phone, but that list is a good place to start an attack.
I’m an American Indian (that’s what it says on card I must carry 24-7) and can live on both sides of the border - I will leave determining that up to you. Need no visa to be in US. And my hearing aids need the paired app om my iphone. And these inept, pedantic fools can peremptorily grab my phone? Is my password keeper a social app? My pwds are unknown to me without it. What a moronic policy. And there is NOWHERE NEAR the smart staffing in existance to handle this mess
Ralph B - good point. The more seamless iOS ecosystem is a huge drawing point in favor of the Apple watch. Not that I would consider one until battery systems have improved to something like a month, at least, something not likely any time soon.
I pair my iPhone with my hearing aids for full functionality - phone calls, music, and...hearing tuning control with the app, of course. If the sad state of the comparable app available on Android's platform [for same hearing aids] is an indication of functionality with Google's watch cobbled into iOS, I'll keep my 12 year old Casio, thank you.
