Hi, Interesting idea. A bit late in the evening for me though could manage it if others were interested. The company I work for are very concerned about possible ransomware attacks. In the main they are trying to mitigate against this by disabling admin privs everywhere and only allowing them for the time they are required after an approval process, this is across the board and has had several interesting ramifications.

Open conversation among system administrators? Good afternoon, Security is a huge concern for me at the moment. Two institutions in Ireland were targeted with Ryuk over the past few weeks. I have no doubt that there are malicious acters targeting the institution I work for right now. I was wondering if a few of you would be up for a conversation via Zoom or Teams in the coming days. I can explain what we have done and what we are continuing to do to protect ourselves. You can do the same. Some of what we are doing might overlap but potentially we all might get a few new ideas. My infrastructure might be considered legacy compared to some. I'm still using on-prem systems for the most part. But I have some cloud based services as well. All system admins / architects would be welcome. Perhaps Wednesday at 10pm gmt? I don't know what that is in other time zones. But it's probably around 6pm eastern.
