Tech Tip Tuesday – Netflix F.I.D.O.
No it’s not a new Netflix series, the Fully Integrated Defense Operation (FIDO) is an open source security incident event manager. The focus is to automate and expedite incident response with an alert-to-ticket process. Netflix built the tool to solve in-house issues but saw the opportunity to share it with the security community.

Tech Tip Tuesday – Cybergamut
If you like Tech Tip Tuesdays you are going to love Technical Tuesdays from cybergamut. Cybergamut is a community of practice for cyber professionals. The next scheduled talk is on June 9th, “Using EMET to Defend Against Targeted Attacks” but there’s a catch. You need to be at Microsoft facility in Maryland or at a cybergamut node. Sadly, there are none in Hawaii. Anybody want to volunteer?

Tech Tip Tuesday – Microsoft Local Administrator Password Security (LAPS)
When an attacker compromises any workstation, the local administrator password hash can be obtained and used to access every other workstation using the classic Active Directory exploit Pass-the-Hash (PtH). Fortunately Microsoft now has a solution to protect local administrator accounts from reuse. Labeled LAPS (Local Administrator Password Solution), a compromised local admin account cannot be used to as a launch point for other malicious activity by an adversary.

Tech Tip Tuesday – Microsoft Group Policy Search Website
Have you wanted to make a change to Windows Group Policy but didn’t know where to start? The Microsoft Group Policy Search Website is a great resource. The search bar allows you to find specific topics (e.g. password-complexity, minimum password length). You can also filter out specific operating systems (e.g. Windows XP, Server 2003) and applications (e.g. Internet Explorer 7). This could be a useful training aide for CyberPatriot VIII.
