I’m working at a cyber security company, we have an agent running on customer machines that helps identifying security breaches.
One tool we use is to scan the customer’s network and find out which machines don’t have our agent running.
- herman_toothrot 6y agoIs the word "cyber" making a comeback?
- uzakov 6y agoYes, companies find it easier to sell solutions, when there is the word cyber present
- soylentcola 6y agoI feel like most of us who rolled our eyes at all of the "cyber" stuff have generally thrown in the towel. I see it mostly used when talking about security-related issues as opposed to just "on the internet" stuff nowadays. Cyber-warfare, cyber-security, cyber-espionage, etc. I do still chuckle a little bit, but language and popular terminology is just funny like that.
- NeutronStar 6y agoScanning your own network is not the same as scanning the whole internet.
- tgv 6y agoThat you probe your customer's networks, I can understand, but, but why would you scan other people's networks? I encountered a bunch, always trying the same, lame URLs for a PHP framework bug or a Wordpress config error, sometimes a hundred variations in a few seconds. What's the point? Same goes for all these ssh connections, but they seem to be real hacking attemps.
