Re:Incident Report – DDoS Attack on Wednesday December 03, 2014 @02:37PM (#8695856)
As someone who has been down this road many times before - I can't stress this enough: DDoS mitigation solutions don't solve the problem of an app-specific layer7 attack and it is important to do some testing of how well your mitigation service responds (and that it isn't a silver bullet.) Additionally, you need to make sure your team has tested and proven procedures for engaging the service, respond to attacks, etc. Services like NimbusDDoS (www.nimbusddos.com) are good because you can do some real scenario testing and make sure your team and infrastructure is prepared. There are other services out there too that I am less familiar with, but either way really good stuff to do.

from the ask-hn dept.

Hi -I intend on working on developing an idea into a product with a partner. We don't want to incorporate yet, we want to develop our idea first.I am wondering what type of agreement people put in place when they don't want to form a business yet, but want to have some sort of governing document for their partnership.I intend to involve an attorney to develop formal paperwork, but I like to be...

The guys at CryoKey (https://www.cryokey.com/) are basically trying to do this. I haven't personally used it, though.

Not that I am an auditor, but if the data ever hits your environment then you have a level of compliance to maintain.

Does cardholder data ever pass through your infrastructure in any form?

What about audits of user accounts and access control?
Re:Ask HN: Frustrations with PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOX compliance? on Monday April 29, 2013 @05:31PM (#5628955)
A case management system and a wiki has typically been how I have done this. It can be a little tough though because these tools aren't necessarily built for this type of workflow. Perhaps RT does a better job than some of the other options which really want to be a support ticketing system or a bug tracking system rather than a change management system.

Do you use any particular tools to track approvals to changes, policies etc?

Ask HN: Frustrations with PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOX compliance?

Posted by rpug on Monday April 29, 2013 @04:35PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hi everyone,I am curious to hear about other people's frustrations with PCI-DSS, HIPAA, or SOX compliance.From an IT perspective, one of the biggest frustrations I have is with the man-power required to satisfy keeping up with the requirements. A lot of the guidelines are common sense, but the overhead for maintaining change management, documented policies/procedures, approvals, audits, etc...

from the ask-hn dept.

Hi,I am working on a project that would be a web-based service (a mission critical service which gives me concerns about liability if we, unfortunately, have an outage.)It is likely that I will be offering a percentage of the 'company' to two people in exchange for their work.This service will be taking payments from customers (through some sort of credit card processor i.e. Braintree) and it...

The developers want something that works.. and is fast. No waiting for builds!

We're trying to provide the best dev environment possible to allow our developers to be most productive.A developer's lone MacBook Pro can only go so far, so we want to supplement it with extra resources.We're a Java and Tomcat shop.Looking to see what other people are doing.. we're too big for the Amazon cloud. Should we give everyone their own developer workstation, or virtualize.. or......

We are actually planning to buy some NetApp equipment and have heard nothing but good things.

I am very curious as to why a two disk failure caused an outage. What exactly happened when both disks failed?
