  • I just started my first official cybersecurity position at a medium size company in an industry that is currently being heavily targeted with ransomware.

    I’m starting pretty much from scratch as they have not had a dedicated security role in over a year and my predecessor didn’t make much progress. So far i’ve been focused on inventory lists, policies, and procedures for hardware, software, and data. I think we’re doing okay with minimizing stuff thats internet facing and patching is in a good place (well, at least with the devices and os’s that are still supported).

    Any suggestions on where to go from there or what to prioritize?








  • The shuttle SRB’s were really only reusable in the same sense that the engine from a wrecked car can be removed, stripped to a bare block, bored out, rebuilt, and placed into a new car is reusable. Hard to say exactly how long it took to turn around SRB segments, but just the rail transport between Utah and Florida was 12 days each way. SpaceX has turned around Falcon 9 boosters in under a month.

    And even with all of that, the most reused reusable segments barely flew a dozen times. There is one Falcon 9 first stage that has now flown 18 times.

    You’re not wrong about parts having been reused in the past but the scale of what has been done before really doesn’t compare to what SpaceX does now.
