Kieran Jacobsen is the Head of Information Technology at Readify, a Microsoft MVP and regular speaker at conferences throughout Australia.
I forgot to post in December that the video from my NDC Sydney session, The Boring Security Talk, is available on YouTube and Vimeo.
In January, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) took the unusual step of issuing an emergency directive (EN 19-01) about Mitigating DNS Infrastructure Tampering. Several days, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) which is part of the UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) also issued an alert on DNS Hijacking activity.
The 7th Edition of the Global Azure Bootcamp - Melbourne, Australia. This year the bootcamp will be on Saturday 27th of April 2019.
Microsoft has included an OpenSSH client with Windows 10 since the Fall Creators Release (1709). This client has been installed by default since the April 2018 Update (1803). The biggest benefit for the average user is that they can now use a supported OpenSSH client, without downloading and installing any other software.
The organizers of the Melbourne Microsoft Cloud and Datacenter Meetup would like to know how we can make the Meetup better and to understand your areas of interest and backgrounds to better serve you as members of this community focused Meetup group.
Azure Automation State Configuration (previously Azure Automation DSC), is a service provided by Azure that allows you to write, manage and compile PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) configurations and assign these configurations to target virtual machines (or any server or workstation to be honest). On its own, State Configuration provides some basic configuration examples, but its true power comes form the ability for you to define your own configurations.
The Posh-SYSLOG PowerShell module continues to surprise me. I originally developed the module in early 2012, making it available on GitHub in 2013. Since then I've continued to maintain the module, even though I don’t directly use the module.
In September I presented The Boring Security Talk at DDD Melbourne, NDC Sydney and the Melbourne Cloud and Datacenter Meetup.
This talk was an ambitious talk and I was attempting to cover a wide range of topics that are not commonly discussed. I really enjoyed putting the talk together and presenting it to everyone.
