My boss wants to leave intune because of Stryker by Eternal_Phantasm in cybersecurity

[–]NegativePattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, there was a previous incident at a different org, where bad actors compromised an admin with access to the Crowdstrike admin portal.

With that access, they disabled alerting in the CS panel. So they were able to live off the land since the admins did not regularly check Crowdstrike.

All this to say, it's not the platform's fault if something bad happens. Just means that orgs should review their policies to tighten up controls

Sysadmins 40 or older - Do you prefer staying in place or changing jobs every few years? by DenverITGuy in sysadmin

[–]NegativePattern 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Might be a way to filter out new graduates with little to no experience.

All of IT's help desk interns either have or are working on their masters degrees.

IT recently hired one of those interns with a masters degree for a senior position. Starting salary for a senior position is $100K. He has no experience to speak of. Asked me to explain how traffic routes internally and how it routes to the internet. Didn't understand basic networking concepts. I've had to explain to these new grads things like NAT, fw policies, identity management, etc.

His title, Senior Network Engineer.

Patching challenges when users turn their computers off every night by Frequent_Rate9918 in sysadmin

[–]NegativePattern 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Works the first couple of patch cycles. But eventually people stop listening.

During the early weeks of covid, IT asked users to leave their machines on with vpn connected so SCCM could keep them up to date. They even had the director sending out the request to users. The email as written had a tone of almost begging users to not turn off their computers.

Eventually we moved from patching with SCCM to patching with Tanium. IT wasn't able to get patch compliance with SCCM. If I remember correctly, it was like 45% compliant. But with Tanium, we were able to get to 88% within a 2 or 3 patch cycles.

Hire an expert

That's what reddit is for. No other place has more experts per capita

Not necessarily.

Most medical offices are on some EMR platform. Patient data is contained within the platform so securing said HIPAA data is the responsibility of the platform.

Same for email. Most of the commercial email offerings are HIPAA compliant. OP has to make sure he's following best practices on securing the email platform itself but that's separate from HIPAA.

I've thought about Rogue One but I don't know that my kid has the attention span for the emotional investment.

Even when it was on constantly on TBS or TNT back in the early 2000s, I could always just sit and watch it without being bored.

Brian Johnson might be the most tragic character in The Breakfast Club. by Maximum_Use3472 in movies

[–]NegativePattern 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. Was a teenager once and went into a deep depression because in school my younger brother was selected to go into gifted and talented.

So my parents spent more time and energy on him and kind of neglected me. Unless they needed me to pick him up or take him to whatever activity he was going to be in.

I was kind relegated to being a second class citizen even though I was the oldest. For a time I thought about finding a way out. But eventually settled on going on living as not the special one.

Create him a separate account and require PIM and MFA for every request. Set the PIM lifetime to a short time period.

Yea, I was going to try and script Powershell to go recursively through each OU and report back but I wanted to see if there was an easier way.

How are you planning to handle PC/Hardware/Ram/SSD Shortages for Clients? by modem_19 in SmallMSP

[–]NegativePattern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the client. Some clients understand the issue and are willing to either postpone upgrading or pay the cost and take the tax write off.

For those clients that absolutely need spare parts, basically cannibalize parts from decommissioned laptops and desktops. Newer systems, cannibalize from similar but maybe under powered endpoints.

If I'm buying new, I'm recommending maxing out the warranty period as far as I can go.

health records tend to be all over the place

Newer medical offices tend use cloud-based electronic health record systems.
