Lawyers for Roman Seleznev, the son of a member of the Russian Parliament, had asked the judge to suppress everything collected from the laptop because the U.S. Secret Service agents who arrested Seleznev accessed the machine before securing a warrant.

Migrate from MS SQL Server to MySQL23 Jun 2016 | 3:56 pmIn this blog series, I will share my experiences as I migrate commercial databases (i.e., Microsoft SQL or Oracle) to open source (MySQL). More specifically, we will look at how you can migrate from MS SQL Server to MySQL. For this first blog post I've chosen Jira database as an example, and used three different tools to migrate Jira database in Microsoft SQL Server to MySQL:

MySQL Workbench (opensource)

Amazon DMS (cloud tool)

Ispirer MnMTK 2015 (commercial tool)

 When I started my research, I was under the impression that Jira database would be easy to migrate (no stored procedures, no triggers, etc.). It turned out that there were some problems that I was able to fix. One of the reasons I chose Jira...

Below is the list of your questions that I wasn't able to answer during the webinar, with responses: Q: What are the predefined roles installed per default? A: MySQL does not support roles by default. But, if you need roles you can either use MariaDB or emulate roles with Percona PAM Plugin and proxy users. But MySQL has pre-built user accounts. One of them is root@localhost, which has all available privileges, and anonymous account that can access the test database without...

A System Ruleset for the Pico Engine21 Jun 2016 | 11:14 amSummary: I made a small change to the pico engine recently that has big implications for how we monitor, control, and configure it. I have a problem: a long time ago, Kynetx built a ruleset management tool called AppBuilder. There are some important rulesets in AppBuilder. I'd like to shut down AppBuilder, but first I need to migrate all the important rulesets to the current ruleset registry. There's just one tiny thing standing in my way: I don't know which rulesets are the important ones. Sure, I could guess and get most of them. Then I'd just wait for things to break to discover the rest. But that's inelegant. My first thought was to write some code to instrument the pico engine. I'd...
Failure and the Internet of Things13 Jun 2016 | 4:55 pmSummary: Dealing with failure gracefully is table stakes for connected devices. My review of two connected sprinkler controllers shows that they're not yet ready to join the game. I'm now on my second Internet-connected sprinkler controller. The first, a Lono, worked well enough although there were some features missing. Last week, I noticed that the program wasn't running certain zones. I wasn't sure what to do and I couldn't find help from Lono, so I decided I'd try a second one. My second purchase based on both friend's recommendations and reviews on Amazon was a Rachio. I installed it on Saturday. As I was working on setting up the programs and experimenting with them I noticed that the new...
Fitbit as Gizmo8 Jun 2016 | 10:34 amSummary: The networked devices you purchase aren't products as we've historically understood that term. You're not buying the device, you're buying the service. Fitbit is just a interface to a networked service. Without the service, the device is good for nothing. In the taxonomy of Bruce Sterling's Shaping Things, the Fitbit is a Gizmo. "Gizmos" are highly unstable, user-alterable, baroquely multifeatured objects, commonly programmable, with a brief lifespan. Gizmos offer functionality so plentiful that it is cheaper to import features into the object than it is to simplify it. Gizmos are commonly linked to network service providers; they are not stand-alone objects but interfaces. People within an...

But VU doesn't have any faculty or even any courses of its own. VU's programs are constructed from courses at other universities. VU's students take courses at whichever university...

How UserLock Guards against Shared or Stolen Windows AD Network Logins21 Jun 2016 | 1:57 amIf you ask your neighbors to watch your house and keep an eye out for any signs of forced entry when you go on holiday, you're going to miss the burglar who steals your keys and walks right through the front door. The most worrying thing about compromised credentials is that you're not likely to detect a hacker (external or from the inside) using stolen or shared credentials because your systems believe that the person on the network is who they say they are. There's no reason for your anti-virus software or firewall to flag anything to you. Many organizations can't protect against compromised network logins For a hacker or rogue user, compromised credentials are key to avoiding network breach...
User security compliance – Where industries are getting compliance badly wrong.14 Jun 2016 | 5:22 amWhen it comes to data security, regardless of your industry sector, you're likely to have to deal with compliance regulations. If you're in the legal industry, there is the Law Society's Lexcel standards. If you handle cardholder data, you'll have to comply with PCI DSS. And if you work in healthcare, there are guidelines from HIPAA, NHS England, Wales or Scotland. Then there is the umbrella of the ISO 27001, covering any set of information relating to individuals in any sector. Compliance requirements for user security are similar regardless of industry While different industries have different security requirements, the user security side of compliance is remarkably similar because employees in...
Are you sure of your Windows Users claimed identity?10 Jun 2016 | 6:34 amVerifying Windows users claimed identity to guard against unauthorized access from stolen or shared credentials. 1. Contextual access controls Contextual access controls can define and restrict network access conditions for each authenticated Windows user.

If credentials are compromised, any attempted access outside of these logon rules is automatically blocked. Shared or stolen passwords are therefore unsuccessful in obtaining network access.

By verifying authenticated user's claimed identity you can attribute all actions to an individual user and place accountability on network actions to discourage any illegitimate action – whether that might be just pranks or more serious malicious user...

6 things you never want to hear a user say….3 Jun 2016 | 8:54 amIt was reported this week that user error accounted for the vast majority of UK security breach incidents. The CERT Insider Threat Center also recently determined that most security incidents initiated through phishing and other social engineering are carried out by acquiring and misusing user credentials to secure systems. The challenge is that users are indeed human. They are flawed, they are careless and often exploited. Users (computing) are in fact defined as "Those that generally use a system or a software product without the technical expertise required to fully understand it'. Of course, we all know that rather than blaming users for security breaches, an organization should be looking to...

In general the telecoms industry has been focused on security for a long time but the focus has usually been on building big walls to protect their systems and networks from external threats.

Digital Disruption: Customers Buy Experiences Not Products23 Jun 2016 | 5:45 amA recent CBS news segment showed that while major American hotel chains were just beginning to build their properties in Cuba, AirBnB already had several thousand properties for its customers to choose from. In an era of this kind of digital disruption, it should come as no surprise that the President of Hyatt hotels claims "customers today buy experiences not products". As Hyatt and Marriott have discovered the physical room is no longer enough to win against new age market disruptors like AirBnB. In Hyatt's case, they are using customer data to discover patterns that will enable their hotels to truly excel at customer service. For example, they are using the data they have on flight connections as...

Move beyond weak mainframe passwords with advanced multifactor authentication22 Jun 2016 | 8:03 amMore and more companies are moving to multifactor authentication. Almost everyone agrees that multifactor authentication is the best way to provide the strongest level of authentication (who you are). This technology is taking hold in many industries, and for the most part it's working pretty well. Now ask yourself "How can I use multifactor authentication to authorize access to my host systems?" Wow—things just got really complicated and expensive. Think about who is accessing your host systems today. Employees all over the world with different devices and different access needs. Business partners who need access but don't have your same systems and devices. What about customers who are actually...
Why SSL Puts Your Organization at Risk20 May 2016 | 9:43 amNothing breeds acrimony like success. Such is the case with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Originally developed by Netscape (remember Netscape?) for their web browser to encrypt communications between web browsers and servers, the SSL specification was eventually taken on and standardized by the IETF as the Transport Layer Security (TLS) specification. SSL became the de facto standard for the encryption of HTTP network communications and was quickly adopted for other network protocols, including terminal emulation protocols like TN3270. Now a victim of its own success, SSL has become a target for both white hat and black hat hacking, and is now broadly characterized as "ancient and insecure." So what does...
White Hats, Black Hats. A Hacker Community is Emerging Around the Mainframe. What You Need to Know…3 May 2016 | 10:03 amTimes are changing and we all need to take notice. The mainframe computing environment, with protocols dating back decades, is a new frontier of exploration for both the White Hat and the Black Hat hackers. A White Hat is an ethical hacker who seeks to expose vulnerabilities publicly so they can be addressed before they are exploited by malicious hackers. A Black Hat is a criminal hacker who hacks for illegal purposes or for notoriety. Large computing environments have been ignored by the hacker community for many years, but mainframe data now has a target on its back. The Bottom Line: Hacking tools have gone public, and they may be running on your network, connected to your mainframes. The White...
My Macro Just Crashed the Mainframe!6 Apr 2016 | 10:55 amIt was a simple macro that took down the mainframe. Yes, it really happens—and more often than you might think. Our customers tell us over and over again that they need to be able to lock down access to host resources. They also feel an equally strong need to lock down and harden who can make changes within the terminal emulator. For example, they want to control who can create or modify macros, who can modify encryption settings, or who can modify their own user-specific settings. Unchecked, any one of these adjustments could cripple your business—by taking the mainframe down or landing your company on the front-page news after a security breach. And yet companies typically deploy generic,...
Your Biggest Security Threat May Be Sitting Right Down the Hall24 Feb 2016 | 4:02 pmMost companies say that their employees are their greatest assets. They are the lifeblood of the organization. They are what makes the business thrive. They could also pose the greatest security threat your company will ever face. There's no way around it—employees must be entrusted with sensitive information to do their jobs. And therein lies the problem. With privileged access to confidential information, employees are perfectly positioned to do irreparable harm. Just one employee who steals one credit card number is all it takes to strike a financial blow to your company and damage its reputation. So how can you best protect yourself from insider fraud? How can you ensure that none of your...

Not skeptical anymore: IT has serious concerns about connected devices22 Jun 2016 | 9:59 amWearables and other connected devices that make up what's known as the Internet of Things (IoT) have long been more hype than substance. But now most IT pros agree these devices could pose serious security risks. SpiceWorks followed up a 2014 survey on IoT with a new report, 2016 IoT Trends: The Devices have Landed. Right off the bat, the survey finds that the idea of connected devices being a consumer-only concern isn't the case. Only 20% said it was mostly a consumer trend, 4% thought it primarily affected businesses and three-quarters (75%) said that it would affect both consumers and the workplace. Despite this, more than half of companies (55%) aren't preparing for IoT in the workplace, the study...

Hacked corporate servers selling for as little as $6 a pop21 Jun 2016 | 12:54 pmReminder: Check your security settings on your server now before it's too late. Researchers from Kaspersky Labs recently discovered that access to thousands of compromised servers is being sold online for as little as $6.

Why is IPv4 Depletion Happening and What's Next for IPv627 May 2016 | 2:23 amSimply put, an IP is an address that direct an Internet data stream where to go – it's the core of internet browsing. It is often said, "the Internet is running out of phone numbers," as a way to express that the Internet is running out of IPv4 addresses, to those who are unfamiliar with Internet technologies. Image Source Just like phone numbers, IPv4 addresses are assigned hierarchically and have inherent inefficiency. Since the world Internet population is constantly growing and will continue to do so due to the extreme rise of Internet-connected devices, it seems that ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) has finally ran out of IPv4 addresses. No need to worry though, the Internet will work...

Being a Product Manager in a DevOps World23 Jun 2016 | 12:00 pmAt Velocity Santa Clara this year, I gave a talk about the interplay between the DevOps movement and product management. I think it's important for product managers to understand the impact their choices have on software operability, and for engineering teams — whether DevOps or other — to have an understanding of how their choices affect product. I want to call out three practices we use in building, shipping, and operating software at PagerDuty, and how they help our product team ship more value to customers. Fast, Frequent, and Stable Deploys Most of our Github repos have continuous integration or continuous deployment setup. When you open a pull request, your code is magically slurped up to the...

ChatOps Incident Management with the new PagerDuty Slack Integration21 Jun 2016 | 10:00 amHere in San Francisco, it's hard to go a day without hearing about ChatOps and Slack. Sure, living near the Slack headquarters and using their product every day tends to influence my view, but still, they're everywhere. Their blog shows up on my Medium feed all the time, and very recently I even saw a Slack commercial. It was not long ago when even mentioning a chat tool made me cringe. Memories of being unwillingly logged out of the interface and constantly missing direct messages still haunt me to this day. But things have certainly changed, and chat is now a vital part of my many daily workflows. Thanks to companies like Slack, chat has evolved into ChatOps, and ChatOps has taken collaboration to a...
Optimizing Incident Management for Hybrid Infrastructure15 Jun 2016 | 11:55 amIt's 2016, and your infrastructure is probably hybrid. That means your Incident Management solutions need to be ready for hybrid environments, too. If you only had on-premises servers to manage, and if you didn't have virtual networks or microservices in the mix, incident management would be much simpler. But then you'd be living in the past, and Windows Server 2003 would be the newest big thing in IT Ops. Today, almost all infrastructure is hybrid in one way or another. On-premises servers and devices blend seamlessly with public and/or private cloud services. Networking is abstracted from the physical layer. Storage is scaled out and distributed across many servers, sometimes even between data...

How To Protect Against The Rising Threat Of Ransomware24 Jun 2016 | 10:17 amThe ISBuzz Post: This Post How To Protect Against The Rising Threat Of Ransomware appeared first on Information Security Buzz. Ransomware attacks are never far from the headlines and that's likely to remain the status quo for the foreseeable future. Indeed, Verizon's 2016 data breach investigation report states that attacks have grown 16% globally year on year, a worrying trend for security professionals everywhere. But what's behind the explosive growth of this relatively new form of cyber attack? To answer that, we must first look at how ransomware has evolved to date. What is ransomware? Ransomware is a distinct type of cyber attack, in that it extorts payment from the victim in exchange for...

The number of users attacked with encryption ransomware is soaring, with 718,536 users hit between April 2015 and March 2016: an increase of 5.5 times compared to the same period in 2014-2015. The irreversible consequences of this kind of malware infection, along with the high value data that is being encrypted by ransomware, tempts victims to pay for decryption, which in turn draws more cybercriminals into the business. It's no secret that crypto-ransomware, which encrypts data on users' systems has become a huge problem for cybersecurity over the last...

Tell the story. Rally them behind a common goal22 Jun 2016 | 11:42 amTeam leads are responsible for rallying their team behind a common goal. Spend time discussing the "why" of the project, providing context beyond the technical requirements. Remind the team periodically how the project, and specifically their efforts, impact the company's business and its customers. Furthermore, a consistent effort to communicate team goals and relay "the story" behind the project breaks many long-distance barriers. Being rooted in a clear understanding of the big-picture objectives, a team member is likely to make better decisions and stay motivated when working alone. Daniel Pink writes: "It's often difficult to do something well if we don't know the reasons we're...
Great performing teams are built on trust22 Jun 2016 | 11:41 amIt's more difficult to establish trust when you're working with a team member remotely, especially one whom you've never met. But teammates have to trust each other. The most efficient approach to building trust is to bring teammates together in-person. There is no faster, more impactful way to build relationships, to get to know each other, than to meet face-to-face. Studies have shown that if a team meets in-person during the first 90 days of the collaboration, the project has a much better chance to succeed. Zapier aims to bring the team together twice per year. They justify the expense by not having physical offices. However, businesses who have co-located teams and offices, can schedule one...

Ye olde cyrtification: Don't be too attached to your outdated credentials22 Jun 2016 | 4:04 pmI think that it was five-star World War II general Douglas MacArthur who said: "Old certifications never die — they simply fade away." At any rate, somebody said something like that. In the year and a half since Oracle announced their new recertification policy (which I wrote about here), I have seen hints that this quote may not be appropriate.Based on feedback that has been posted on LinkedIn and various forums, it appears that many certified individuals associate their IT credentials less with a tongue-in-cheek MacArthur misquote and more with an equally mangled quote from leading diamond seller De Beers: "Certifications are forever."As the above-linked article above indicates, there was a lot...

The new features in Portfolio for JIRA 2.0, and how they will make life easier22 Jun 2016 | 9:30 amSince its original release in 2014, Portfolio for JIRA has sought to increase visibility of all team efforts across the enterprise.

Renewing your SSL certificate in a keystore13 Jun 2016 | 9:30 amCreating a new certificate for a Tomcat instance/server is pretty straightforward. For example, GoDaddy has a solid page to describe this (https://www.godaddy.com/help/generating-a-csr-and-installing-an-ssl-certificate-in-tomcat-4x5x6x7x-5239).
