Wiz has tons of competitors, and Microsoft is one of them, so are Palo Alto Networks, Tenable, Crowstrike, SentinelOne, etc... Wiz is definately a leader but are in no way a monopoly, so I do not see this as an FTC play to stop the deal.

I had a very similar experience, I was leading the selection process for our new endpoint security vendor, Crowdstrike people: - verbally attacked/abused a selection team member - were ranting constantly about golf with our execs - wer

Im running a very small podcast hosting company, and spotify is NOT a good player in this space. They are not respecting the standard in any way. As an example, instead of linking to the source url, they make their own copy and serve that i

In a nutshell (I have been in Cybersecurity for 18 years...) one key aspect of cybersecurity is to centralize all logs of security (and a few other tools) in a central repository and use that data to identify threats through rules, correlat

OKTA SLAs and support terms specifically exclude AWS outages, so why would they?

Based on this page, Quebec is 99.8% renewable. I can confirm that we have no brown-outs. Also - We have a mix of very cold and warm weather, so are consuming lots of energy for heating in winter. - Hydro-Quebec, state-owned utility has a st

Power footprint also confirms that the compute density is pretty low. We built a few racks of Supermicro AMD servers (4 X computes in 2U), and we load tested it to 23kva peak usage (about 1/2 full with nthat type of nodes only, our DC

I'm working on many projects with RedHat, and have heavily dealt with IBM in the past. I can definitely confirm that the IBM statement is true. Execs signed on many projects, and we were always stuck with a blue pile of unusable garbag

This is probably part of the reason why it's OEM-only. That way AMD can control where it's used, avoiding it competing with it's own EPYC server chips.

Happened here in Canada with Teleglobe. All their assets (mainly buried fiber links) were purchased for cheap by Tata Communication, which has been growing since.

Anyone in the security field has used any of these sites and can give feedback? I am looking for short/remote gigs to supplement my work now, could be interesting. I was a full-time consultant for a while but decided to go back being a

Downtown Montreal here, speed right now: 83 mbit/s down 13 mbit/s up Quite good, almost as fast as my home connection.

I am in Canada, but I think it can also apply in the US: I am working in security , which is a small world where I am. I usually take a look at a LinkedIn profile to know who an applicant knows that I know as well, that way I can get more i

They are using Arbor in their core network, and auto mitigate attacks on customers now. I am working with Arbor systems as well as others for DDoS protections where I am working now, and I can confirm that it works quite well. Takes about 5

Seems to be the index and abstracts only, the actual documents needs to be paid for. Not too expensive at 15$ each, probably worthed if you need such information.

If your company has a PCI environment, i'm not that worried (you probably have a pretty good idea of what you are doing, at least in theory), but most startups do not have this, as far as I know. Most just want to get a product/se

Very interesting, and I would definitely see a use. Just a few comments: - How does this fit into the PCI picture, only thing I have seen on the site is a 2 line faq entry. Not enough to help on scoping or identifying requirements that woul

I would be extremely surprised that you would need 30 x86 boxes to reach the performance of a P8 box, on any type workload. By my experience with P5-P7 they can be faster for certain workloads then x86, but not that much.

While the performance seen here is nice, i'm curious to see the price/performance ratio. Running against a 8-core XEON would not make sense if the closer Intel system price-wise is a quad 12-core xeon... Obviously we are talking c

The main thing preventing me from using stripe directly in my applications is that it does not calculate sales taxes. The added complexity to do so makes it complex to integrate. That aside, thanks for the book, I am buying it as I am sure

Thanks for the reply, which business fields is this experience coming from? I could be biased by the industries I worked in (telecom, engineering, banking), there was a constant push to bring down opex spending, by squeezing suppliers on ma

I do not know who your customers are, but for lots of corporations, spending a fortune on hardware (capex) is easier then spending anything on services (opex). It is linked to accounting rules for those 2 different categories of spending (I

Almost all the independant colo centers in Montreal have been bought out by big players with the corporate world in sight, not the small 1-2 servers market. So the prices skyrocketed. The opposite is true for dedicated, since they have to c

Yes, always compare with rented dedicated, and only go with colo if it makes sense. I did this analysis last year and rented won big time. Never looked back since. Main points in favor of rented dedicated servers: - Much cheaper in my busin

For the first time in my life, I disagree that Godwin Law's could be applied in this case. It is truly a sad day and and it really shows the incredibly wrong state of affairs in Russia when comparisons to Hitler are actually justified.
