Video surveillance systems are generating more data than ever before, and storing that data securely and affordably has become a real challenge. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce Wasabi Technologies’s partnership with Johnson Controls, a global leader in building technology and video management systems. Together, we’re bringing a game-changing solution to market. By combining Wasabi’s hot cloud storage with Johnson Controls' ExacqVision VMS, we’re offering an incredibly secure, scalable, and cost-effective way for organizations to manage their video surveillance data. Our immutable storage ensures that once the data is stored, it can’t be altered or deleted, providing an extra layer of security against cyber threats or physical damage. And with our predictable pricing model, there are no surprises when it comes to cost—a big win for organizations dealing with ever-growing amounts of video data. To me, this partnership is all about empowering companies to protect their critical data while keeping costs down and performance high. I’m proud of the work we’re doing to make this a reality.

A little late, but here's the next #cmmc entry for level 2: https://lnkd.in/gKpkbpBp This one was a bit more difficult to decide what to write, as I did not want it to be a long boring read. There are almost 100 additional requirements above level 1, so I just tried to give some highlights by sections. Level 2 is where you start seeing more technical requirements that will be much more likely to start requiring outside assistance, but it also will likely greatly enhance most company's security postures.

Ransomware Attack on UMC Disrupts Emergency Services UMC Health System in Lubbock, Texas, faced a ransomware attack, forcing it to divert emergency patients. The attack disrupted IT infrastructure, phone systems, and patient portals. UMC remains open, but select patients are still being diverted while services are being restored. John Riggi from the American Hospital Association called it a national security issue, warning that cyberattacks on trauma centers risk lives. Experts like Emily Phelps from Cyware highlight the need for proactive defense through collaborative intelligence to prevent future disruptions. #Cybersecurity #Healthcare #Ransomware #UMC #PatientCare https://lnkd.in/d4gNVTea

I wonder how many SIEM vendors out there are sweating how GenAI will auto-magically translate data normalizations and field extractions, detections, reports, and dashboards between different products to make SIEM replacements far easier to do. I think they probably should be.
