    Hopefully, this guy is not a former student of any CINner! :eek:
    It's important to realize that there is an important 'teachable' moment created by Friday's massive outage. We teach students about frameworks and policies in several of our courses. If organization's utilized those frameworks and adopted and used those policies then Friday's outage would simply be 'an incident' and the organization's IT change management and business continuity policies would be activated. If members of the organization are properly trained on those policies then while there would be a disruption; some business could continue. I believe that many organization's had policies and trained people in place and what we heard about on the news were simply those that have more work to do.

    Having worked for a major cybersecurity company for 24 years I'll add we would never hit a competitor when they were down with an event like this. Because 'what goes around, comes around' and it could be your company next time.

    You know that Vincent Filibustier is a satirical writer, right? Having said, I get the pun
     
    OR, hopefully, was not trying to get out of taking a cert that day! I heard the outage also brought down Pearson Vue so no one could take their scheduled exams online! Ouch!
    I knocked out Pandora. I was riding my bike and unable to stream Pandora. Sad. Sad. Sad.
