Introducing Kudelski Security's Cyber Fusion Center : New Breed of Man...

Note: a publicly-owned
'Fusion Center', a phrase coined by U.S. Department of Homeland Security for total surveillance operations.

Our new Cyber Fusion Center (CFC) operates 24x7x365, powering our Managed Security Services (MSS), delivering what organizations need most: an ability to reduce the time it takes to detect threats.

The average detection time for most threats is 146 days – our MSS can reduce it to just a few days, or even a few hours in many cases.
The CFC goes beyond traditional MSSP solutions, combining expert analysts, threat monitoring, intelligence sharing and innovative technologies to rapidly detect and respond to threats.

We take a non-linear approach to the traditional phases of the kill chain, mirroring the non-linear way an attacker moves through a network, enabling us to identify patterns and disrupt adversary movements through the stages of an attack.

Clients benefit from a continuous improvement in their security posture, remediating security issues faster and protecting their assets and reputation.

GOOD TIMES ROLL ― let the good times roll / let them knock you around / let the good times roll / let them make you a clown / let them leave you up in the air / let them brush your rock and roll hair / let the good times roll / let the stories be told / let them say what they want / let the photos be old / let them show what they want / if the illusion is real / let them give you a ride / if they got thunder appeal / let them be on your side

In Defence Of 'Needy' People

Published on Feb 24, 2017

We’re used to being very down on so-called ‘needy’ people. But perhaps – in many situations – the problem doesn’t lie so much with the apparently ‘needy’ party, but with the person describing their lover as such.

FURTHER READING
“The ‘needy’ person is a stock figure of caricature: they call too much, they cry when you leave to get a glass of water, they feel put out when you check your phone, they were upset when you watched a film without them.
We hate needy people a lot. But let’s look at this another way. There are, of course, a few pathologically dependent people at large, but a lot of the time, far more than is generally accepted, the person who has the problem isn’t the ‘needy’ person at all, it is us; the ones who are doing the accusing…”
