@Jstear said in Cylance Questions:
You can get a demo (POC), but you have to go through a third party, not Cyclance themselves.
Depends on the size of your environment. Yes, for SMB, we do work through our vetted, certified partners.
@brianlittlejohn said in Cylance Questions:
I have had one issue that I haven't contacted Tech Support about yet... Virtual Box will not run with Cylance installed.
Hey Brian... if you want to drop me a DM, I can help
@Jstear said in Cylance Questions:
I've heard that Cylance sold their algorithm to Webroot. Whether that is true or not, I'm not sure.
Absolutely not. I can say with near total certainty that we will not be selling the algo to any competitor.
You got questions? We got answers!
Let's DO this!
NetBackup Reddit AMA
@thanksajdotcom GREAT to hear! I'll keep you in the loop if there is more stuff like that
ALWAYS!
Figure there's gotta be some hardcore enterprise backeruppers out here... Let's get you introduced to the OTHER backup family...
What's up my fruit loving friends...
I haven't talked any NetBackup out here, but I figure that there may be a few lurkers out there...
With all kinds of good stuff going on in the world of NetBackup, we wanted to make sure that we get together with anyone and everyone that has any questions. With that in mind, the brains behind all that is NetBackup are gathering for their very first AMA. We have assembled folks from around the world to converge on Reddit at 1.00 pm EDT; Friday, 13 March. We will be there for 2 hours to answer any and all questions pertaining to NetBackup (insert legalese disclaimer about what we are allowed to talk about here).
The team will include members of the product planning, development, support, QA & senior leadership teams. We'll talk, we'll laugh, some might hoot and or holler, but in the end… we will answer your questions. See you then
oh you KNOW your boy is going to be here

@Reid-Cooper somebody once said... "bow ties are cool"
@StrongBad you had me at StrongBad
It's that time of month again my friends...the latest Symantec Intelligence Report just dropped overnight! All the latest on the bad things the bad guys are trying to do... Our man **Ben Nahorney **is one of our top Cyber Security Threat Analysts as well as the chief architect of the SIR. Dig it:
Symantec Intelligence Report: September 2014
Welcome to the September edition of the Symantec Intelligence report. Symantec Intelligence aims to provide the latest analysis of cyber security threats, trends, and insights concerning malware, spam, and other potentially harmful business risks.
The average number of spear-phishing attacks rose to 53 per day in September, after a 12-month low in August. Spear phishing activity has returned to levels seen earlier in the summer, but is still down from the 12-month average of 85 attacks per day.
The .doc file type was the most common attachment type used in spear-phishing attacks, making up more than 52.9 percent of all attachments in September. At 4.8 percent, last month’s top attachment, .exe file types, dropped to fourth.
There were only four publically disclosed data breaches that took place within the month of September, resulting in the exposure of 2.5 million identities. However, there were 14 additional data breaches reported in September that took place earlier in the year. The largest data breach reported in September actually took place in April, and resulted in the exposure of 56 million identities.
Ransomware continues to decline as 2014 progresses. However, crypto-style ransomware remains high, making up 38 percent of all ransomware detected in September.
There were 600 vulnerabilities disclosed in the month of September, the highest number so far in 2014 and second-highest in the last 12 months.
One in 2,041 emails was identified as a phishing attempt, compared with one in 1,587 for August. While at first glance this looks like a big drop, it results in only a 0.01 percentage point decrease in the overall phishing rate.
We hope you enjoy the September Symantec Intelligence Report. You can download your copy here.
As always...let me know what we can be doing for you.
EXCELSIOR!
We won't have a link till we go live tomorrow in Reddit...it's just the nature of their beast.
But it will be in the r/IamA subreddit http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/
@Minion-Queen awesome! I love to see The Network fly into action like this
28 confirmed from the various parts of the development family attending either in the room or on the phone and another 7 likely to join for at least part of it.
Plus, we usually pick up 5-6 more in the a.m.
sharpen your fangs
find the pitchforks
oil up the torches
@Minion-Queen When the Queen is alerted....things get REAL
**Date/Time: **1.00 EDT Friday, 17 October
Awhile back, we rounded up folks from the Backup Exec development team and did a series of AMAs
Well, it’s been awhile, but we are back to carry on that weird and slightly awkward tradition. Friday, 17 October from 1.00-3.00 EDT, we are gathering members of the various teams who made Backup Exec 2014
As you might have noted this is an AMAA, Ask Me ALMOST Anything. This is the Backup Exec team and while we know to expect some non-Engineering and non-Backup Exec specific questions, if it’s beyond our scope we may have to simply say we don’t know or wave our hands and say “this isn’t the question you meant to ask”.
In the mean time, if you have questions or need anything, you can find more information at
You got questions? I'm bringing the folks with the answers. Come and talk with us. See you tomorrow.
I'm reaching out to some folks internally to see what info I can supply
Getting this in front of our technical folks. Stay tuned...
