> hi all. Has anyone taken online exams with accommodations, as a screen reader user, with Pearson Vue? I’m just wondering about your experience. This was not an option last time I tried many years ago. I’m not working at the moment and trying to retrain, looking at taking theComptia Security+ If the online exam process works okay this would give me a lot of motivation to get into this more. Cheers.

Advice on SIEM management
by Zameer 09 Feb '25

09 Feb '25

Hi all, I trust you are well. Do any of you on the list manage the SIEM for your organization? I've been offered a job to setup a SIEM from scratch, and the software that would be used is log360 by ManageEngine. I am very new to this, and if you have any advice or tips, I would be much appreciated. Not sure if this is a job I'd want to go in to if it wouldn't be accessible. Of course training and certification would be provided, but what I'd like to know Is, is this worth a job from an accessible standpoint? I know I struggled to read logs from the event viewer as an example with screenreaders in the past and I'm just abit weary when it comes to log analysis from various devices etc. I don't mind reading logs if I have to troubleshoot a specific issue but having to deal with logs as a primary function of the job I may take could be frustrating I think. Not meaning to complain but, What I find very frustrating with logs is that I have to hear the time and date and then the actual text of the log. Would there be any way to just be able to filter the text and then if say something interesting was found, look at the dates and times? Help/advice would be much appreciated. Kind Regards

Hi all, Does anyone know of a good SysLog analyser, that is accessible, for Windows please? Just having some strange problems with my router and chromecasting, and I want to see if I can track it down. I can get the logs when it happens, but I don't know what all of the codes are. Many thanks.
