A little blog from Kelly<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Trude asked me to write the blog this week and as I am on a learning curve at the moment, connecting the pieces of the puzzle together in the wonderful world of IT lingo\/chatter I hear in conversations with our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no getting away from it, since I first started in IT (information Technology), the abbreviations created with the advancement of technologies was constant, relentless and an everyday occurrence.  Having been out of the IT sector for a few years, coming back in there are so many new ones and boy do I need to play catchup.  It always reminds me of a sketch in the film Good Morning Vietnam, when Adrian Croanauer (The Unforgettable Robin Williams)<\/em> was addressing his superior \u2013 \u201cExcuse me, sir. Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn’t we keep the PC on the QT? ‘Cause if it leaks to the VC, he could end up MIA, and then we’d all be put on KP\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, just for fun \u2013 5 new ones to me, but maybe old ones to you \u2013 just humour me \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

aaS \u2013 as a Service<\/strong> \u2013 I was familiar with a few of these, SaaS \u2013 Security\/Software as a Service, NaaS \u2013 Network as a Service, but OMG with the advancements in all things cloud, there is no end XaaS (Anything as a Service).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BI \u2013 Business Intelligence <\/strong>\u2013 Software\/Tools that businesses use to analyse raw data, such as data mining\/reporting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

EDR \u2013 Endpoint Detection & Response <\/strong>\u2013 These are solutions to extend the functionality providing endpoint visibility\/analysis in conjunction with IDPs or firewalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IDP \u2013 Intrusion Detection & Prevention<\/strong> \u2013 Oh the analysis of the network traffic for patterns\/signatures that match known cyberattacks \u2013 the scary stuff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IOT \u2013 Internet of Things<\/strong> \u2013 Apparently, this was not officially named until 1999 and by 2013 had evolved simply to be: – any device with an on\/off switch connected to the internet.  Oh, and there is an IOTaaS option too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The myriad of new roles and opportunities that have sprung up within the technical world is another scenario I have to get my head around.  No longer is it the IT Manager, IT Support etc. etc. it is all CSO, CISO, CTO, CISM, CISSP <\/strong>\u2013 but I will get there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s Nothing as Consistent as Change – So very true in this amazing technical world!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
