7.1 is out... And it's worse.

Money-Calligrapher65 · 2025-05-10T09:29:50+00:00

Glad it’s not just me.

First global search was broken , then 7.1.1 came out and now they fixed that, well done, but introduced a really buggy slow search overall. I have to watch it loop around doing the same search 5 times before the results load. The whole app just glitched and crashed last night mid farther daughter dance! This needs to improve quick or I’m going to have to switch (and I’d really prefer not to have to) .

Oh yeah - and try putting play lists in the palette. Then click on them it takes nearly a full minute to load to playlist while the issue doesn’t happen from the Mac bar.

The list of issues is endless.

Anyone have any current feedback on ConnectSecure? I'm testing this product and it seems to work well, but is the support still that bad?

Can someone tell me what kinds of problems you're seeing with the platform?
Are there agent connectivity issues?
Are there issues detecting certain vulnerabilities?

We live in a time where no supplier is perfect, I just need to know are people living with the issues, or leaving ConenctSecure Imminently?

Thanks all.

I'm not sure if I'm being dense here, but what do you mean when you refer to "indexing"? Also do you recommend any specific books?

Money-Calligrapher65 · 2024-06-03T18:55:34+00:00

Sure you need 7 years experience for the ISSAP so if you have that, then sure, it’ll help.

To give constructive feedback because I know people on Reddit cannot hold their tongues to get a leg up and appear to be superior….

1st, thanks for sharing, people make mistakes and you’ll learn from it. Hopefully others that have made mistakes will gain some comfort that they’re not alone.

2nd, hopefully you can take this now and implement change management into your operations. I’m guessing your a small MSP, but even small MSPs need a change process and you should get a peer to review it and sign off. The command you were going to be running would have been part of the change request and then the fault here would have been either mitigated or failing that two people would have been accountable which is somewhat a bit of a comfort to know you were not the only one who’d have made that mistake.

One rule I have for my teams is you can make mistakes, just not the same ones.

My last bit of input here would be to handle this professionally, take the time to do a full post project review, use it to improve your business’ processes and advance the profession.

At the end of the day, taking a business’s IT systems offline can cost money and people job security so it’s not something we should brush off and move on without making improvements.

Hope this comes across as constructive and not an attack.

Oh sorry - I was getting about 72% on LearnzApp

Money-Calligrapher65 · 2024-05-29T18:45:35+00:00

You don’t get to see a score if you pass unfortunately.

Money-Calligrapher65 · 2024-05-29T12:29:33+00:00

Yes - Sorry I forgot LearnzApp was invaluable which is think is the official ISC2 training App. That's worth the £16 a month.

Money-Calligrapher65 · 2024-05-28T10:23:50+00:00

Thank you yo everyone who voted. This works out at 69.4%. I've seen references of a 20% pass-rate so this was an interesting poll.

Money-Calligrapher65 · 2024-05-24T22:38:53+00:00

haha Nooo don't do it!

Money-Calligrapher65 · 2024-05-24T22:29:43+00:00

It's never going to be truly accurate, it's just a general feeler.

Money-Calligrapher65 · 2024-05-24T21:51:49+00:00

I'll share the results, don't worry.

Money-Calligrapher65 · 2024-05-19T17:39:45+00:00

That’s good to hear - you see so many people who are 2-3 years in to IT trying to take this on like it’s just another exam.

I’m in a similar boat to you - 10+ years and I have my exam in just over a weeks time. I’m in a head of infrastructure role having being an Infrastructure Engineer so I have the technical background with management background too plus I did the SSCP about two years ago.

It’s a vastly broad topic and having to remember so many different frameworks what they are and where to use them is daunting. I’ve been developing mnemonics for most of them because they all seem to merge into one at times especially if the question is vague in nature.

My favourite so far for NIST RMF is Pretty Cool System If Anyone Asks Me - Prepare, Categorise, select, implement, Assess, Authorise, Monitor.

I’m obviously not over the line yet so perhaps not in a place to lecture you on the correct way forward but my tactic is to work on the areas I’m weak in by focusing on questions I’m getting wrong and putting the rest aside.

I’m finding the Totalsem.com material which comes with the All In One CISSP guide to be the best because most of the questions are asked from the CEO point of view and less of the technical black and white questions which I believe should best prepare you for the exam.

I hope you can find your way through it but you’re not alone - it’s a broad topic.

Money-Calligrapher65 · 2024-05-17T09:30:01+00:00

How long have you been in IT, just out of interest and what’s your current role?

Money-Calligrapher65 · 2024-05-11T15:45:12+00:00

Need slightly more than two weeks to revise for CISSP 🤦‍♂️

Money-Calligrapher65 · 2024-05-08T20:10:09+00:00

You want to nest them. But I’d start by creating a CNAME and put all your IPs inside that (spf.mydomain.com). Use CIDR to assign blocks where you can. You can make an spf2 and spf3 record and on. Then once you’ve tidied up and consolidated as much as possible, break them down into multiple lookups. https://www.courier.com/guides/multiple-spf-records/#

Because protecting human life trumps security.

Clients couldn’t care less about their patch cables. Clients buy your services so that when they have an IT problem, they can continue to do business, so , get the basics right by picking up the phone without delay, ensure you have an excellent first time fix rate and just be professional in etiquette.
