@IDGTechTalk A1: The ability to understand your audience; obviously a thorough understanding of the technical side is essential, but equally important is the ability to distill technical concepts to a non technical audience. #Synergy #IDGTechTalk

Forget hopes and prayers, what about using #ArtificialIntelligence to detect guns before shooters get them into classrooms?

@Capitan_Alfa @CVEnew @doctorow @BoingBoing Given the white-label relationship of #TBKVision I’d imagine the list of brands impacted by this exploit are growing, does anyone know if a more comprehensive list susceptible devices has been assembled? #CeNova, #NightOWL, #Novo, #Pulnix, #QSee, #Securus #IoT #InfoSec #DVR

[Steve Spott @SteveSpott]

Well, the bad news is that 55k #Security camera DVRs are vulnerable to an exploit so simple it fits in a tweet.

But… good guy @Capitan_Alfa published the vulnerability to @CVEnew

It's just as important to recognize the people behind the scenes who keep the lines of communication open at the #Hartford #Emergency Telecommunications Center #LawEnforcementAppreciationDay @HartfordPolice @Sonitrol @SonitrolVerify @nationalcops

#LawEnforcementAppreciationDay provided an opportunity for us to thank both two and four legged officers #K9 #BackTheBlue @CTMiddletownPD @Sonitrol @SonitrolVerify @NationalCops

[Steve Spott @SteveSpott]

@Sonitrol is proud to #BackTheBlue! #LawEnforcementAppreciationDay was a success, allowing to give thanks, a big smile (and even some cookies) to the local resources keeping us safe @HartfordPolice @rockyhillpd699 @WethersfieldPD @NewingtonPolice @CTMiddletownPD @DEAHQ

@copernicc @brianbehlendorf @jason_pontin @Joi Do you see #Cloud services solely as a transport mechanism with #Blockchain as a means of providing an articulated payload?
