Messaging and Event Processing

2008-07-13 09:02:47 by Tim Bass in The Complex Event Processing Blog
 
...engineers use a combination of both polling and trapping in all enterprise-class operational NMS. Optimizing polling and trapping is one of the tasks good NMS engineers do well. The same holds true in most distributed event processing architectures For example, look at the CEP/EP reference architecture on this site. You will notice that the...

The Ethics of Vulnerability Research

2008-05-14 11:29:45 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
...engineers see the world differently than other engineers. Instead of focusing on how systems work, they focus on how systems fail, how they can be made to fail, and how to prevent--or protect against--those failures. Most software vulnerabilities don't ever appear in normal operations, only when an attacker deliberately exploits them. So...

...engineers added this feature, and its been very a very popular configuration with our customers ever since We have also had a couple of business relationships that extended outside of the show. In 2006, we had a good experience using Spirent Communications gear to benchmark the network, so we ended up purchasing a couple of these systems to...

...engineers to avoid any risk whatsoever. In this, I am reminded of one of my favorite books, To Engineer is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design , by Henry Petroski. He writes, No one wants to learn by mistakes, but we cannot learn enough from successes to go beyond the state of the art. Contrary to their popular characterization as...

Oh No! Security Metrics!

2008-04-18 12:43:00 by sdl in The Security Development Lifecycle
 
...engineers, so we pay little attention to the figures because there is very little we can influence. The post Mr. Lindstrom refers to cited those vulnerability figures I use to point out that other development organizations need to admit they have a secure development problem. Looking back at the figures we cited, it's pretty clear that the...
