Trying something new out, join us?
Hi all! Briana from the community team here. adhill and nfritsch came to me over the summer with the idea to host a virtual PUG meetup. So we put our heads together and came up with the idea of hosting a virtual PUG all about the landscape of virtualization options and figuring out how to make a choice or make the most of the choice you've already made. We'll meet on zoom & use breakout rooms to have small group discussions on 7 different virtualization topics. Info & registration link can be found by clicking on this image ⬇️ We're hosting it in 2 week and will be sending you a DoorDash gift card to cover your lunch during it. If you're part of a local chapter an SE in your area will be hosting a happy hour later in the day. (So far, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Columbus, OH have committed to this. Oh and you have to be at meetup to learn about the HH location & get swag.) We've brought in the Everpure experts on each of these options, and in some case they'll be interviewing customers who have already made the move. You'll have the chance to ask both of them your questions and get to know other Everpure customers that are making the same decision as you. What I'm asking is two things of you: 1) If you're interested, please register. This will help me know if it was a good idea to try out and will make it so I can get you that GC for lunch. Bonus points for commenting here & letting everyone know which room you're joining or thinking of joining. 2) If you think this is a terrible idea, tell us! Even better if you have an idea of what you'd like to see from the community team.
Old Tech Tuesday
Welcome back! For this week, lets talk experiences. Key memories are typically associated with multiple senses. One great example is the resurgence of the clickety-clackety mechanical keyboards. What's sound, touch, or other sensory experience that unlocks a key memory? Mine is the sound of a dot matrix printer, where I had to print projects like hello_world.java from the sun microsystems computers in the basement computer lab.
Cybersecurity Challenge: Your Mission - Analyze, Report & Defend! 🫡
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month and as professionals we know that recognizing a threat is only the first step - knowing how to triage, investigate and mitigate it is what builds true cyber resilience. To kick off this special month, we’re challenging our community to put their incident response instincts to the test! 🔍 The Challenge: Threat Analysis & Response Take a look at the attached simulated phishing email. It’s loaded with initial indicators of compromise and social engineering tactics. Your Mission: Identify at least 5 distinct red flags hiding in this email. Go Beyond Awareness: Pick at least one red flag and explain how you or your organization would: Investigate: What logs, headers, or telemetry would you pull to verify the threat scope? Respond & Defend: What immediate remediation or control updates (e.g., mail gateway rules, SIEM detections, endpoint controls) would you implement to prevent impact? ✏️ How to Participate Examine the email screenshot above. Reply in the comments with your 5 identified red flags + your investigation/defense strategy. Check back on October 23rd when we share the answers! 🎁 Prizes & Bonus Entries 🎟️ Every detailed submission enters you into a raffle for a prize! 🚀 Want an extra entry? Share your response or this challenge on LinkedIn, tag/link back to the Community and paste the link in your comment reply! 🛡️ Why "Beyond Awareness" Matters Threat actors constantly adapt their tactics, techniques and procedures. Moving beyond passive identification into active triage and defensive engineering ensures that every member of our community acts as a sensor and defender. Drop your submission in the comments below! 👇 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: The Answer Key & Winner Announcement! A massive shoutout to Shaqdiesel! You stepped up to the plate and delivered a fantastic response to this challenge with spot-on analysis and an exceptional incident response playbook.

First Preset and Counting
A bit routine, but this preset creates a volume to be used as a VMware datastore with a set regular size of 16GB. It also ensures "VMware Datastore" is in the volume name to quickly ascertain what the volume's use case is. Lastly, snapshots are taken every 6 hours and retained for 5-days. Create Regular Size 16GB Volume for a VMware Datastore w/6h5d Snapshots‘Tis the Season: Share Your Spookiest "Data Horror Stories"! 👻
