I have had a pretty full week. Holidays are a lot of work for me since there is still a certain amount of work that must be done in a week, but fewer days to do it. On top of that, as the Security Director it is my job to babysit the building during non-business hours as long as someone needs to be in it. When everyone else was dismissed early on Monday that meant I had to stop my other tasks and sit at the front desk for a few hours. Tuesday still had a few activities, but not enough for me to make my security host come in for just a few hours so I did the stuff.
Tomorrow we are switching our WAN connection over to multiple T1s in order to better expand our network across the multiple sites it needs to reach.
I have also taken some pictures of the wireless connection equipment we have set up for reaching the office annex and I am checking connectivity from point to point.
I am mapping out our network and rearranging the IPs for some of our equipment for better management.
I am dealing with the headaches incurred after bringing in a new sonicwall box and having to reconfigure it so as to allow security camera viewing across different areas. On top of that the content filter was blocking lots of sites I need (including a few of my own for some reason).
And then my IP changed so after two days of reconfiguring my personal firewalls and the router at home all I needed was to enter a new IP to get my server and remote client working again.
I have 4 stories sitting in my queue for this blog, but some of them are already looking stale.
