CLAM DOWN posted:Man, is that actually a stereotype of Vancouver? That's terrible haha, I only know like one person in all my social circles who smokes the weed regularly. Yeah definitely, even though my closet's rent is only like $2k/mo, there's definitely a strong security scene there. We actually have a lot of trouble finding security-trained and experienced people for positions, like for a security-related job posting, we might get 20 applicants, not a single security cert or previous position. It's a buyer's market! For jobs, not for real estate. i covet my job for a good reason. a lot of the security roles in vancouver pay absolutely horribly and i have that one unicorn job that allows me to actually live comfortably. annoyingly i am one of four women i know of in the city who does infosec too

I have no need for it (Defender user of course), but I'm intrigued by Webroot as an AV solution. Purely out of curiosity, any good independent analysis of how well it works out there? My Googlin' leads me to the various generic reviews rather than any serious look.

Not sure this is the right place to ask, but I've ended up being tasked with putting together a website that will be sending financial documents to a AWS database. I know nothing about cybersecurity or infosec and am somewhat terrified doing something like this, though thankfully I am not personally liable if anything goes wrong. Is there a good resource for like, putting together something simple and not loving over a bunch of customers due to a lack of research?

They had a pretty significant fuckup earlier this year although they say they’ve learned from it, etc etc. From what I’ve seen, they’re a pretty decent player in the MSP space.

Depends a bit on what kind of information you store and what you're supposed to do with it. Large banks are using AWS, so it's no inherently a problem. You just have to do the right things to prevent abuse or leaks. PCI-DSS v3 has a simple list of things to do, AWS themselves have best practices too, if you *really* want to be sure you're not doing something dangerous look into what the cloud security alliance matrix (which is basically ssae16/iso27001/hipaa/pci/etcetcetc controls combined into one massive list, may be missing gdpr technical controls - haven't checked) expects of you. And then consider what meets your risk appetite and how much you or your employer cares about and/or are liable for people's personal lives. Without any more information about what you're supposed to be doing, it's hard to give specific advice.

There's a site set up that compiles the allegations against that guy and one of them said he used to organize the lightning talks at 3c until he was harassed into never attending again because someone wanted to do a 5 min lightning talk about how Appelbaum was an rear end in a top hat

I think you can get a single E3 subscription from a reseller, but it’s tough to find information on this for some countries. I’m not sure why Microsoft don’t sell an Ultimate edition anymore and just charge more to make up for the lost ad revenue they get from home and pro users.

RFC2324 posted:How does the educational license fit in with this? It has almost all of the features of enterprise, does it also have the ads tho? Education is just Pro with the option to defer updates for slightly longer. LTSB is locked and not possible to upgrade, except manually when new versions come out.

RFC2324 posted:According to this: https://liliputing.com/2015/07/differences-between-windows-10-home-pro-enterprise-and-education.html I’m pretty sure it goes like this: Education can defer upgrades for a little while and lacks Cortana. Enterprise can defer upgrades for a little while and lacks Cortana and most or all Metro apps. LTSB can defer upgrades forever and lacks literally everything, including Edge. I’m also pretty sure there’s working Powershell scripts to take Enterprise / Education and restore the features missing versus Pro, but there isn’t any way to take LTSB and restore all the features it’s missing. Finally, I’m pretty sure Education and Enterprise cannot defer upgrades indefinitely. There’s ways to stop upgrades manually (Windows Update Minitool, or disable the upgrade service totally) or by using WSUS, but the OS by itself can’t stop upgrades.

My users also used to get “suggested app” notifications until I got that turned off. The only difference between enterprise and pro is that you’re actually able to turn those things off in enterprise.

I am one of the biggest critics of MS's "content delivery" and appx in general, and I'm not even sure what infosec taylor swift is talking about. They disabled some group policies that could prevent the ads from showing up, but a) that was in 2016, Redstone 2 was the spring 2017 update b) those settings were never really effective because major updates are fresh installs and fresh installs of win10 have those junk apps no matter what policies or settings you try to use on them. poo poo comes back every 6 months no matter what.

Grassy Knowles posted:You could beat them by installing offline, deleting the stub files for the apps, then connecting. Perhaps that's no longer possible? which is kinda more work than just right clicking a bunch of dumb ad tiles and selecting uninstall But since this is the infosec thread, how do people here feel about appx in general? The driving force behind it seems to be security (also microsoft realizing they're the only company not making a 30% cut of every app sold on their platform). But I've just had terrible luck with it, it seems too secure for it's own good. Right now I have some of the standard OS apps that are totally broken with Event 69 errors, which as far as I can tell mean that the permissions have gotten hosed up so they can't launch. (They also can't update, and I'm pretty sure the only thing that will fix it is an in-place reinstall. Which I can't be bothered to do so I'm just waiting for the spring update.) My calculator doesn't work because its security is busted. That, IMHO, is a sign that your poo poo has gone off the rails.
