What an expensive way to hear something they probably already knew

NTG's file server is on Office 365. Shared, hosted servers, same as I would expect a consumer to use.

Whether it works or not is another question

I just got a Razer blade stealth from the US.

4K display, touchscreen (won't use but cool) Pcie SSD, i7. It runs like lightning, love the machine.

You need good user training in addition to AV and network firewalls. User training is the most important.

User training..... hahaha....

So as with anything lets perform a math exercise and calculate the continuing cost of effectively training users, versus the cost of build a good security policy with backup and recovery functionality (not excluding cost to upgrade it and maintain it)

Don't forget to add the cost of a breach.

Reputation
Fines

More importantly, how do you show trust and accountability.

I don't care if you are a non profit or a commercial entity, neither proves that you are a trusted source. Either can be bought and paid for.

Also, what is the definition of a good test. I've seen tests where Symantec has won consistently and I know the product sucked at the time.

Amazon might be successful, but when they cut corners. Eww.

Neither are the right answer but both are helpful.

The right answer is hiring people who are motivated to learn the right way of doing things, who want to improve at their work, who want to use the most efficient tools for the task at hand.

You have 2 types of hire, those who don't want to grow and those who do want to grow.

No amount of training will help those who just don't want to grow. They will always click on the spam emails, click on the malware links and ignore you.

When faced with management pressure they will either grow to change their behaviour or dig their heels in.

Universities? Those incredibly slow to react to change organisations delivering up to date security data?

Google!

No one site can ever replace it. With it you can research different applications and uses, then you check it with peer groups (Spice or Mango) as an extra layer.

Never take the opinion of the cultural majority on any platform, a herd mentality can develop (Raid-5 is evil always for example)

The problem is, the best practice will never apply to 100% of situations, so good judgement is needed to decide if it applies or not.

Yes but your classroom training would be the wrong expense because of the lack of memory retention.

So then you have the KnowBe4 model which offers a price per user per year.

I think it was around $50 per user per year. You get regular phishing tests, video classroom style of the courses all year round.

So your $75 per participant for a one off session just cannot compete price wise.

And for a phone that is outside the Chinese market. Look at the OnePlus

Currently using a OnePlus 3 and have been since October. Great quality phone, delighted with it.

Pulling on the leash makes me cringe when I see it happen.

Try reading a few guides/videos from this guy, he's milking his celebrity status but actually he does some really great stuff with dogs, you don't have to buy gadets or tools to control your dog

The padlock HTTPS bit is always green regardless of cert level.

You are thinking of the green bar which is called Extended Validation.

Does anyone remember that pointlessly annoying "browser choice" thing the EU forced on Microsoft? Every time you installed a new OS, you got this app that ran asking you to "choose" a browser from a list. Fiddly to get rid of.

On the other hand.

Considering Webroot is cheaper than a lot of what is out there Do you really need the discount.

Interesting.. I wonder if the solution is for sale or going to be publicly posted?

Pretty sure Dell's T&Cs prohibit selling the solution and their lawyers will come after anyone who tries it.

Now, if the soloution just ended up being distributed outside the control of anyone one individual, they would have a hard time. DPACK is a major tool in their sales arsenal for products. Maybe the engineering guys will re-write DPACK to counter it.

Brilliant.

I'm not up for a big company picking on a smaller one in court but in this case....yeah, quite pleased this is happening.

Just recorded a 30 minute video on a topic.

The microphone decided to distort and break down, killing off the video. Doh.

As the software and video game industries have learned, you cannot copy protect your software, ever. It's a never ending game of whack-a-mole.

Apparently, this is all he had to do. Little bit of PHP.

<?php

$contents = file_get_contents("7daycapturePPP2.iokit");

$newlines = 0;
for($i = 0; $i < strlen($contents); $i++)
{
   if( ord($contents[$i]) == 10) {
      $newlines++;
      if($newlines == 2) {
        $original_header = substr($contents, 0, $i + 1);
        $contents = substr_replace($contents, "", 0, $i + 1);
        break;
      }
   }
}
echo $original_header;
echo zlib_decode($contents);
?>
