It’s dangerous to go alone. That must be a reason birds have evolved to flock together. I imagine, as a person responsible for your organization’s security operations, the pressure is on for you to always be right. One miss could become a very public incident that distracts the company from its real mission like financial services, education, or energy. When you’re sitting down to review a possible breach, wouldn’t it make you more confident to have access to real-time, qualified (by trained security analysts in our managed SOC) intelligence sightings from your industry peers that include how similar sightings were ultimately dispositioned?
Of course, you could always go alone, but the cost of creating and maturing a corporate security team can be expensive. For compliance, you’d need to invest in multiple security products to cover network security, system security, application security, vulnerability scanning, SIEM, and of course, the threat intelligence that drives it all. You’re smart so you’ll pick products that integrate. But integration might cost extra.
You’ll also need a team to operate all the products, which eats up your training budget. SIEM’s and IDS’ don’t come with content so you’ll need licenses to intelligence feeds and/or membership to an ISAC. You may also need a threat intelligence platform (TIP) to manage intelligence feeds and plug them into each security product. To staff a 24⁄7 SOC you could squeeze by with four threat analysts working 10-hour shifts, but that doesn’t leave you enough coverage for holidays, PTO, and, sick days. This can result in analyst burn out and employee churn. Qualified analysts are hard to find, not just in your area. If you don’t monitor the security products diligently, you could end up like Target. The bare-bones, go it alone security program I outlined could take a year to setup and cost over 1.5 million annually, depending on products, staffing, and business location. This may seem like a lot, but the cost of a breach could be double.
Perch helps with a number of these challenges. With Perch you don’t have to worry about connecting the dots between your intelligence feeds, your Perch products, or the security products you’re feeding into Perch. Don’t worry about the TIP, it’s already included with Perch. Perch pipelines threat feeds to threat detectors as a core feature. No middleware required. Perch’s predictable pricing scales with your node count and you’ll never have to add headcount as you grow. You can add security expertise to your organization without renting more office space. With Perch’s managed SOC, best-effort analysis is always included. We alert your team if we think incident response is required and provide remediation advice. Otherwise, your team is free to focus on mission-critical business.
Perch brings real-time network, application, and system events into one hunt stack. Our SOC is able to compare your traffic and sighting history to your peers in the community to make informed decisions about the fidelity of a threat or piece of intel. When you can see further, the table flips on the attacker. Now every time black hats try to rob the bank they will have to evade your hired posse of keyboard cowboys from Texas. One slip-up and the team is alert.
Cybersecurity can be cumbersome and costly if you are uninformed about what products you should buy, and more importantly the threats that exist. Don’t go alone - Use threat intelligence to your advantage. Perch connects you to sharing communities that provide security, knowledge, and most importantly supported data to protect your entire network no matter the size. With Perch you get a simple to use application that is setup with no costly developments and no down time.

Though the whiteboard has been widely used in classrooms for over three decades, it is now making its appearance online as a virtual application, and the demands of distance learning have definitely given it an upgrade! Using a whiteboard application not only allows you to harness a whiteboard’s visually engaging and impermanent nature but now you can collaborate on it with all your students, in real-time, simultaneously! Digital whiteboards also deliver one better than our physical classroom counterparts; some applications allow you to save your boards for later reference. And the markers never go dry!
There are a few online whiteboards and each has a different strength. Whiteboard.fi has lots of symbols and grids to choose from (including chemistry and music), while Jamboards save directly to your Google Drive, and Whiteboard.fi boards allow you to set it up just like a classroom.
This Whiteboard.chat tip sheet describes this service which allows you to create collaborative whiteboards to use with your students. Unlike other whiteboard programs, whiteboard.chat is lightweight, requires no signup or email, and the tools (there are a lot of them) are a lot more intuitive for students unfamiliar with learning online.
Here’s a simple tip sheet on Jamboard. Also, Matt from Ditch That Textbook made these great videos on Jamboard. I especially like Video 3 on How to Make Templates in Jamboard.
Check out this tip sheet on Whiteboard.fi, another Whiteboard application available to you!

The health system is actually not interested in health but sickness. Imagine if people were actually well and didnt need drugs, hospitals, surgery, doctors, nurses...there would be a lot of unemployed people and broke business's. Im sure thats why holistic and natural medicine is on the outer. It looks to fix the problem and create a cure rather than just treating symptoms and making people dependent on the system (think long term medications, hospital follow ups, ongoing surgery etc).
Even the supporting societies are not there to help but to maintain the status quo. Hence the Asthma Society is not actually interested in curing asthma - they would cease to exist. Same with the Cancer Society, Arthitis foundation, Heart Foundation etc. I read of a woman who found a natural cure for her arthritis after suffering in agony for 30 years. Delighted, she contacted the arthritis foundation, which she had been an active member of, only to be told they were not interested in hearing about her miraculous cure. I also find it interesting that Cancer charities who raise millions of dollars towards research and supporting cancer sufferers never seem to mention the simple fact that cancer cant survive in an alkaline environment which can be bought about simply through dietry changes.
But it doesnt just stop in the Health area. Police are not there to protect us against crime. If there were no crime there would be no need for a police force. They have a vested interest in the very existence of crime. Imagine if there were no burgularlies anymore. What would the giant insurance companies do? They dont mind paying out on claims becuase it gives them repreat business.
Governments are not there to represent the people anymore(their orginal pupose). They now represent the giant corporations and try and to control the people instead of answering to them.
I think finding out that Santa wasnt real was just the beggining of discovering that the world is actually nothing of what you think its about.
Still, knowledge is power, and armed with this knowledge I know I can now make a real difference.
Ive come to realise the reason why emergency services get burnt out. Well this is my theory anyway. I believe we are all essentially energy beings - that is we have, emit and receive energy. Now, as paramedics we almost exclusively attend people who are giving off negative energy, or at the very least absorbing our positive enrgy. Everyone we attend is sick or injured. Their energy levels are sometimes very low, or in the case of dead people, non existing. Everyone knows about the attraction of oppossites. If there is an extrememly negetive energy present and you have positive energy, the forces try to balancel. Your energy is slowly eekked out of you with everyone you attend. At the end of a shift you are severely depleted. Add to this the often negative forces applied down on you from the management and you have a certain formula for burnout and job dis-sattisfaction.Welcome back to another hump day. With Wednesday here, Friday is closer. Sigh …Three-day weekend on the horizon. I can’t wait. News first, though.
At first I thought this story was yet another example of people wasting time online, but that was before I watched. It is strangely satisfying. Calming. Very weird.
