I came across an article by Roger Grimes over at Infoworld on how security policies and controls are the real power when it comes to IT security. Roger mentions the SANS 20 Critical Security Controls for Effective Cyber Defence , which are a great read for anyone looking at updating or auditing your policies for completeness. The SANS top 20 controls are a must for any organization: Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Devices Inventory of Authorized and Unauthorized Software Secure Configurations for Hardware and Software on Laptops, Workstations, and Servers Secure Configurations for Network Devices such as Firewalls, Routers, and Switches Boundary Defense Maintenance, Monitoring, and Analysis of Security Audit Logs Application Software Security Controlled Use of Administrative Privileges Controlled Access Based on the Need to Know Continuous Vulnerability Assessment and Remediation Account Monitoring and Control Malware Defenses Limitation and Control ...
Ya I was inside my house when it happened and my dog freaked. My TV almost fell too.
ReplyDeleteYea same, my house shook as I was about to sit down, I was like "was that me?" and my dogs and cats were freaking out.
ReplyDeleteLongest I've ever felt since moving to Canada. They are sending everyone out of the mall!
ReplyDeleteFelt it, too. My aquarium water was splashing everywhere! haha. That was a little entertaining at least.
ReplyDeletewowzah - thanks for confirming that the shaking wasn't something crazy happening downtown - we've now decided not to fun from our buiilding ! :)
ReplyDeleteRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell more about the earthquake? I am away from home, I just want to know that it wasn't serious enough to damage anything. Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteMy kids would like to say that my cat was playing and then the house started to shake. Apparently, according to my kids, the cat went crazy, running over all the of the place. Eldest figures it was a good time. Youngest didn't like.
ReplyDeleteOi! That was unsettling.
ReplyDeleteI live in Prescott, Ontario and felt it all the way down here.
ReplyDeleteThat was effing scary! Like a vibration! waaah
ReplyDeleteWe work at the Ottawa Athletic club - our facility is under renovation so we are used to the building shaking - when this didn't stop and the two pools turned into waive pools we figured! earthquake!
ReplyDeleteholy f%^& I dunno where you guys are, but I'm outside of the Orleans area, and my house was SHAKING!!! I am almost literally shitting a chicken. Does anyone know why it just happened?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteIt was strong enough in Ottawa west to rattle the dishes a fair bit. Just heard it was felt in Toronto and Vermont, so maybe at the epicentre it might have caused a fair bit of damage.
ReplyDeleteO.M.G.
ReplyDeleteI have lived in Ottawa many years and felt trembles before but this was more than a tremble my house was shaking and moaning and I thought it was going to come down,my animals were all freaking too. Hope that is as big as it gets
To the person away from home:
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was serious enough to damage anything. Nothing has been damaged in my area, though a few traffic lights aren't working.
I'm hoping to hear more soon. That was quite a quake.
Thank you. I don't get home for another week and a half so it would be unsettling to think about coming home to chaos.
ReplyDeleteMay be we should pay attention to mother earth and and stop all the drilling for oil and tearing down rain forests and all the other destructive things we do for greed. And realize she only has so much to give
ReplyDeletewow, we felt it all the way down in upstate NY in the Rome/Utica area!
ReplyDeleteA couple people felt it here at work. I'm on a suspended floor so I'm used to it vibrating, but down the hall they sit on a slab and could feel it readily. Here in West Central Ohio.
