is SIEM pronounced "sim" or "seem" because I've heard both and pretty sure I unintentionally alternate myself

I say "sim" and I have no idea if it's correct but I've gone too far to stop now.

Last week I pronounced it "see-em" and felt like a fool.

I tend to say see-em because CIM is also a thing for your SIEM and then it just turns in to terminology hell

RFC2324 posted:This is why i refuse to communicate about IT in anything but text format. Around 2008 or something the organization I was working with bought the IBM protocol of Connect:Direct Tripped me up so much because in college (before bit torrent took off) therr was a private Goon Direct Connect file sharing server. It was an excellent barebones file sharing software with none of the ads of Bearshare or Kazaa. The problem was the purposes of both were to do the same thing: move files over the internet. Because of that I couldn't separate the two names from my head. I heard, "do you mean Connect: Direct?" so many times since one our clients decided to use it.

CommieGIR posted:Apparently China carried out another BGP hijack against the EU on the 7th Isn't calling it and "hijack" a bit of a stretch? The break down I read is that a route advertisement gently caress-up by Safe Host directed everything through China Telcom who then echoed the routes instead of dropping them as they should. I'll give you that China Telecom is sketchy as gently caress when it comes to BGP, but this strikes me more as a "took advantage of a gently caress up". Hijacking to me implies they directly influenced the initial mistake to begin with.

Doesn't surprise me that someone would describe that as an active attack when we're in an age where having your 18 year old leaked password being abused to steal your icloud photos is called "hacking".

We really need more non-profit associations or other organisations to run services like these, and other services useful for internet. Don't want to rely on individuals or businesses for something like this.

Yeah, there are lots of ways to go here but some will affect how attractive it is to a prospective buyer. (I think that for the kind of buyer we'd want to see, it wouldn't be a huge barrier to have non-standard control provisions.)

Ranter posted:scientists and research assistants are notorious for buying lab instruments that come with rando win7 machines 'thrown in' on the $100,000+ equipment order and not telling IT. Then they use USB flash drives to transfer the data to their machine for analysis. Then they ask service desk for help 18 months later when the machine shits the bed and its 'urgent'. We finally put a process in place, capex purchases with computers included go through an approval process including "did you check the warehouse to see if we already had one of these" and "can the vendor install the software on one of our standard machines." I did our gowning training and am now privileged to request access to many more rooms and areas. So far I've gotten into three labs run by people who didn't want to approve unescorted access for various reasons; like using weird chemicals that require a non-standard gowning/de-gowning process, or "has hundreds of gallons of liquid nitrogen in the room". That brings us down to 331 systems "not found". Decades of "our oversight, unlike our funding, is limited" is coming to an end.
