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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
Wow, this is extremely useful and really addresses a major pain point. I love it!

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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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: -…
The web part is just a tiy part of a major project. Extracting informations from 55 databases/unrelated systems in a coherent manner is a nightmare by definition. The number of different 3rd party libraries that are…
