Skyport Systems: Fortress Infrastructure
The attitude of breach presumption is one that has fostered a family of seek-and-destroy security products. Find the infected system and fix it. Fair enough. Breach presumption is perhaps a wise posture to take, but it doesn’t mean we have to give up the perimeter. While some security consultants I’ve talked to tell me they […]

Configuration Management is, at it’s simplest, a matter of boolean states on a machine, stack, or infrastructure. Is the Apache httpd installed on this server? If not, install it. Does this file […]
