Deploying Tanium today for my customer. I hear many good things about this product. First thing I did was set an Enforce policy to set my coworkers lock screen to a picture of Barney the dinosaur singing "I love you, you love me, Ta-ni-um is so working!"

Being admin has its perks. he has no idea how to fix it.

MUAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

#patchmanagement

I need to approve 300ish patches this cycle and the management software is no longer allowing me to approve more than 1 patch at a time.

PROD patching starts Saturday. Approving 1 patch at a time is going to SUCK SO BAD come tomorrow that I am already predrinking tonight in preperation.

4 new exploits out for MS Exchange again. This time they are not actively being exploited by China.

Still a good idea to patch ASAP.

#patchmanagement #patchtuesday

Tomorrow I write up the monthly patch report. Out of almost 400 global servers, only 1 of them has not reached a fully patched state. Best month for patching yet! And we had the Emergency Exchange patching we executed too last week too!

This report is going to one I will take pride in writing up.

Just wish I could have gotten this dang SQL CU patch to go in on this cluster and then I could say every production server was up to date fully!

#windows #patchmanagement #cybersecurity

Active zero day exploit in the wild hitting on prem exchange servers. M$ has patch out to mitigate the attack chain. Exchange servers accepting connections on 443 are vulnerable.

Exchange servers protected by edge servers or not allowing external connections still vulnerable.

Main threat is exfil of mailbox data. Exchange online not impacted.
