Were we Just Hacked? Applying Digital Forensic Techniques for your Industrial...ControlEng
Companies that have had their industrial networks attacked from the outside usually don’t realize it at all, or if they do, that knowledge probably comes a year or more after the initial incident. Why? Companies don’t understand their own networks well enough to know when something is happening that shouldn’t be happening. There is no practical way to apply concepts of digital forensic investigation if you don’t understand your own networks. Robert M. Lee and Matthew E. Luallen will discuss how you can analyze and document your systems well enough to perform incident response and learn from those attacks. Your ability to know every detail about your systems is the biggest advantage you have when trying to secure your systems. Put that knowledge to work.

It previously relied on a legacy mainframe system from the 1980s that frequently broke down, causing downtime and disrupting operations. In June 2003, Income successfully migrated to a new digital and web-based system from eBao Technology. The migration involved converting over 45 million paper documents to digital format, replacing outdated IT infrastructure, and training employees on the new system and processes. The new system provided significant benefits like real-time access to customer information, faster product launches, and improved customer service.

This document discusses managed IT services and how they can benefit facility managers. It defines managed services as a provider assuming responsibility for monitoring, managing, and resolving problems for a business's technology systems. Key benefits include increased productivity and uptime by addressing issues proactively before disruptions occur. The document contrasts this approach with traditional "break-fix" services that only address problems reactively after an issue occurs. It provides examples of different types of managed services and advises on how to select and work with a managed services provider.

This document discusses the business case for using a managed service provider (MSP) for remote network monitoring rather than handling IT support in-house or outsourcing to a small local vendor. It notes that network vulnerabilities do not stop when offices close and that MSPs can monitor networks 24/7 to identify and address issues before they become problems. While hiring an IT staff or using a small local vendor may initially seem cheaper, the document calculates that costs can escalate quickly if issues arise that take a long time to address. In contrast, MSPs are staffed 24/7 with highly trained technicians able to use sophisticated monitoring tools to proactively identify and resolve network problems.
Our team will conduct a free network assessment to identify current technology issues, security risks, inefficiencies, and ways to reduce costs.

NTUC Income previously faced several problems with its old systems. The processes were very paper-based and manual, leading to delays. The mainframe system also experienced frequent breakdowns, causing downtime. Developing new products took a long time. The new digital system addressed these problems by transitioning to paperless, automated processes. It implemented a high-availability platform with disaster recovery to prevent downtime. The new system also streamlined product development. This modernized NTUC Income's systems and prepared the company for future growth and changes in technology.

NTUC Income replaced its entire IT infrastructure and is now well prepared for the future with robust and scalable systems to avoid repeating prior problems.
Most data center outages are caused by human error due to lack of information and increasing stress levels for IT managers. Distributed server rooms and remote wiring closets are particularly prone to outages since they are staffed by individuals with multiple responsibilities and lack security measures and redundancies compared to large data centers. A four-pronged approach using monitoring software, video technology, intelligent rack outlets, and sensor technology can help reduce human-error related outages by enabling remote management and early problem identification before downtime occurs. Remote Infrastructure Management Services (RIMS) that monitor infrastructure components remotely can also help reduce costs while improving efficiency and uptime.

This document discusses centralized shared-memory architectures and cache coherence protocols. It begins by explaining how multiple processors can share memory through a shared bus and cached data. It then discusses the cache coherence problem that arises when caches contain replicated data. Write invalidate is introduced as the most common coherence protocol, where a write invalidates other caches' copies of the block. The implementation of write invalidate protocols with snooping and directory approaches is covered, focusing on supporting write-back caches through tracking shared state and bus snooping.

https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

4. What are the business factors to consider? Financial, Operational, External – features, functions What are the different kinds of maintenance? Physical Hardware Replacement Software Updates System Management Backup Monitoring Maintenance Stage
6. Risk vs Cost is determining factor here. Important thing to consider is time cost variable. How much do you lose every hour the system is unusable? (Consider good will) All hardware manufacturers and most vendors offer some kind of hardware replacement option. Hardware Replacement
7. Software updates continually correct problems with the system and add additional features and functions. Most major systems release updates about once a month. Updating less than quarterly will put you substantially behind. Some systems will almost never require updates to function to your specifications. Software Updates
8. Have certified support at your fingertips, but don’t pay for what you don’t need. The important items are response, experience, expertise.
