And they're rolling out NIS2 for critical infrastructure (including subprocessors) and DORA for banking, it's gonna be fun to see the fallout of those too. What's even worse is that US lobbying that took place before the GDPR proposal was made public, so while the people who originally wrote it might have had the best of intentions, the US government still got their say. Fixed the link for you. Also, this is just the latest article in a long conversation that's been ongoing in parts of the IT industry, about how every single other installation technician has to go through some kind of training and certification process - and will face fines et cetera, if they gently caress up. Contrast this with IT, where it's not just possible but quite likely that a computer toucher can end up having their software be an integral part of a large system with a security threat that it was never meant to stand up against.

I wrote a python script that monitors the ASA VPN logs for "Rejected" AAA sessions that then can issue shun commands once they exceed a threshold. Debating using it. Currently seeing a mess of IPaddr with very round numbers of Rejected attempts daily (exactly 1000 for example). Also reporting them to Talos. No user fat fingers their VPN session THAT often. Thinking 50 is a massive overkill threshold.

Earlier today I had an admin try to tell me that the dev environment they manage didn't need a documented security baseline because putting it behind VDI desktops was enough of a mitigation. Yes, I'm sure that's what the CMMC auditors will agree with when they ask why this node of our in-scope systems has no documented baselines. I'd wish that all the mouthbreathing, knuckle-dragging, lazy-as-gently caress admins would just get paid to stay home but then we'd have like 1/25th of the staff needed to do anything.

I didn't get a job in "IT Security" until 3 years ago because... 14 years ago, when IT security started being buzz word and companies started rolling out CISSP paper mills, I figured these the engineer/admin field and "security" field was about merge. I was doing "IT Security" (automating audit alerts, writing SOPs, writing POA&Ms for my boss because he wanted to see what big issues were out there and when I'd have them fixed) becuase otherwise I got to spend entire weekends rebuilding environments. I was not just wrong. I was what I now refer to as "gently caress-me-in-the goat-rear end" wrong. Now, I have to defend why someone should hire me instead of someone who's been a "security analyst" for 5 years but can't make a network diagram or someone who's got a CISSP but can't or won't run an incident response exercise. Get your CISSP or some high level security cert yesterday, folks. I mean some places now have rolled toward DevSecOps, but good luck finding them. tadashi fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Apr 23, 2024 |

The CISSP is good for managers that want to pretend they're technical. By itself, that's literally all it's good for.

I've also had to explain this multiple times to SREs/DevOps, shockingly these guys want to deploy their own infrastructure as code, yet don't know the first thing about it.

Even with the dynamic rigging they try to throw at you, there is nothing hard about this stupid test. So far, it's mostly trivia. I'm sorta surprised by how much I already know, but I guess I shouldn't be. I'm also a little surprised by how poor of a grasp some of the other people in the course have on PKI, but again I know I shouldn't be.

It changed last week, extremely minor modification to the weighting of two sections apparently. Literally one section is weighted 1% more, the other 1% less.
