What are some

You should always have good old WireSHark, nmap included and a great network scanner.

@jaredbusch It is supported you can either pay for support or run OpenSource.

It has been super stable compared to Xenserver/Citrix XenServer.

@dashrender said in New customer - greenfield setup:

A NGFW from Sohos will run around
1 year - $900
5 years - $1800

It's definitely not cheap, but the idea of scanning all of the traffic inbound seems nice. Of course it's really only worthwhile where we can do SSL inspection (can this be down without installing certs on the clients to allow MiTM inspection?)

With the appliance - we could also have multilayers of email scanning - i.e. MX points to Sophos - Sophos then sends to M365.

Don't do SPam filtering on the Sophos Hardware, a proper Spam Filtering in Office 365 or Through Mimecast or any other spam filtering.

@scottalanmiller I am confused, if you certbot or any other Lets Encrypt client, it can use DNS verification automatically without needing any server enabled externally. That's what I have been doing with CloudFlare and their API, are you doing something different?
I even apply it to current web facing servers so I don't need to open port 80 as well.

@EddieJennings This is better ; https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html

I mean I would check with the company that does the payroll for you and most now are offering the app with geofencing controls for punching in and out.At least ADP has that.

IT looking at the same scenarios as doctors do very different things. If you take a 50% chance of driving a company into bankruptcy in order

Well said

@scottalanmiller That is what Universities in the DR do a lot of other classes non related to technology but they are needed to use technology.

Just fixed the photo booth printer at this wedding

I would highly recommend the Dell Latitudes E7400 series as I have vast experience with them and the support and quality is there.

Alternatively I have used the Toshiba ZSeries as well:

I wouldn't, they want Network Analyst, Desktop Support, Server Support, Application Support and Maintenance.

Back to work today

Yes, those errors will concern me a lot. Usually I have seen this error on Synology with failing hardware parts as replacing the drive sometimes do not fix the issue nor a firmware update. Contact Synology support to have them check the device.

@roopankumar said in Career guidance Confused:

@dbeato I need be a System Admin but am going in security so wat can do now

So start working on being a System Administrator and secure all the systems as needed. Focus on securing each OS and then go next to application security with each OS, you might also need to touch the network so knowledge of it would be a plus.

@EddieJennings that is why we backup settings

Thanks for the links!

Found one

@scottalanmiller because reality checks in , same thing happens with backups
