Therefore, intelligence firms have developed cyber attack real time maps that shows cyber-attacks and cyber threats happening globally. The live maps are gives a picture from a mix of actual targets that security firms are using to gather data to know about the sources, means and frequency of online attacks. While there are various international legal frameworks before hiring or seeking such cyber-attack real time service firms.

3 SCCM Peer to Peer Content Distribution Solutions by Microsoft

If you are looking for content distribution solutions to deliver software distribution, OS deployment or patch management without implementing Distribution Points, then Microsoft SCCM peer to peer solutions are perfect for you. SCCM that stand for System Center configuration Manager helps in managing large groups of computers that operates on Windows NT, OS X,  Windows Embedded, Linux or UNIX. It is also compatible with Windows Phone, iOS and Android operating systems.

In this blog, you will read about three Microsoft’s SCCM Peer to peer solutions, namely:

• BranchCache

• Windows PE Peer Cache

• Windows Update Delivery Optimization

BranchCache:

BranchCache offers peer to peer content sharing solutions to remote and local locations. It distributes content from a SMB or HTTP source, located on the BranchCache server. It operates in either of two modes: Hosted Mode and Distributed mode.

Window PE Peer Cache:

Window PE Peer Cache has been designed to overcome the challenges of BranchCache. BranchCache is not officially supported in Windows PE, but Window PE Peer Cache is well supported. Thus, by using Client Settings, you can designate any existing Configuration Manager Client as a Windows PE Peer Cache source.

Windows Update Delivery Optimization:
With the coming of Windows 10, a new peer to peer content distribution feature got introduced, namely Windows Update Delivery Optimization (WUDO) feature. It allows clients to receive Microsoft updates from peers unlike the other solutions that demands downloading of the shared content directly from the Microsoft Windows Update. It is a helpful solution, if your clients are using 'Windows Update for Business' or 'Windows Update' to receive the updates.

Hopefully, this blog has given you a fair idea about the options for peer-to-peer content distribution solutions offered by Microsoft.

Advantages of Application Packaging by Creating MSI Packages

There are many reasons why experts favour application packaging using the MSI packing. Without much ado, let’s see the reasons.

• Based on the users’ actual needs, customise the applications.

• The installation and uninstallation processes are really simple.

• Installation and uninstallation takes really little time.

• Once the package is created, they can be installed on many machines at once, even if they are at different geographical locations. This saves a lot of administrative processes and expenses, reduces the licensing fees and reduce the support expenses.

• Modifying the applications, MSI also saves space.

• Using a technique called self-heal, MSI packages can easily recover lost files which reduces the downtime of the application. If an important DLL or EXE file is missing, user is asked to point to the original MSI from where only the needed file is extracted. If the application knows where to look for the source package, the repair happens automatically and without any input from the user.

• On demand installation facility is available.

• Upgrading of applications can be easily done.

• Roll-Back, a process, helps clean reinstall and uninstall.

• Setting up new user profile is really easy, with revision and distribution for software updates. Application recovery process is really improved. Issuing new applications to existing users can be done effectively as well.

• Gives total control over software download as well as installation. Safe removal of the applications is possible without harming the computer. This can lessen the traffic load on any corporate network.

Real Time Cyber Security Is a Need of the Time

Real time cyber security is certainly more than a fancy term. The process is exactly as the name suggests which means this is a protection against the malicious software (or malware) online and does so on real time. There are different ways of handling online security where real time is the most advanced because the system is always ready, irrespective of the threat. 

See, the problem is not new but the magnitude of the problem is certainly bigger, much bigger than it used to be. This is because the number of computers connected on the internet has grown in numbers. With so many points of data input, it is very easy for the hackers to gain an entry.  The security of the whole system is as strong as the security of the weakest computer. Moreover, due to the cloud networking, which is still in its formative years, more and more data are going out in the internet. These entice the hackers who find newer ways to target these data.

With everything going online, especially our financial details, the need of a stronger cyber security is undeniable. One must select a cyber security which is robust, which gives the fewest numbers of false positives and the heuristic is really improved. Real time cyber security suites often come with these features. However, there is always the need of an expert who can deploy these systems most effectively and use the features to the client’s benefit. Not having an effective cyber security can be catastrophic for your organisation.
