Does leaking such a thing matter?

Of course it's important to Langley, and indeed to the kingdom.

But for Christopher Brown, it's important not to be shaken out during his two- or three-month term.

As long as you are confident that when he leaves office, the person who will take over will be able to solve these messy problems, there will be no guilt.

People always have to believe in the wisdom of future generations.

After all, experience is not the medicine to solve the problem, wisdom is.

A low-key investigation is enough to find out what is leaking and then temporarily block the exit.

At this stage, the impact is minimized, and the most important thing is not to offend both sides.

In this way, at least he can retire quietly and ensure that he can enjoy his old age in peace. No one would kill an old man who has no desires and no desires, otherwise who would dare to give them their lives?

His first two terms were too attached to power, and the results probably won't be too good. Even Roman Wiley won't end well in Christopher Brown's eyes.

Now there are people to protect him because he is still somewhat useful.

When the dust settles, there will be no use value, and people's own position is not enough, where will there be his place?

Like him, self-preservation is king.

As for the national interest......

Don't be stupid, who on either side of the world really cares about this thing these days? The first two words have to be removed from the things that everyone cares about.

……

There is naturally a big difference between a covert confidential investigation and a direct investigation, for example, the resources and people mobilized must not be too many, after all, there are confidentiality requirements, and of course there can be no fanfare.

The good thing is that it doesn't cause panic, but the bad thing is that it's inefficient, and it's hard to really investigate something.

However, when it comes to preventing information from leaking again, Christopher Brown is still resolute.

Directly disconnect several servers that store top-secret information from the network.

Not only is it isolated from the external network, but even the internal network is isolated.

Anyway, there is nothing that needs to be dealt with urgently, there is no assessment, everyone is in a semi-vacation state, and the temporary network disconnection is not a big problem.

In short, under the leadership of Christopher Brown, Langley finally succeeded in putting him in a semi-paralyzed state.

Of course, the current interim helmsman of Langley doesn't think it's a big deal. When the new boss comes, all problems will be solved. If it can't be solved, it must be that the person in No. 1900 is unknown, and it has nothing to do with him as the acting helmsman.

It can only be said that it has not been easy for everyone these days.

……

The week is fleeting, and the time is officially entering the end of September, and October is coming.

The leaves of Washington are starting to change color, and most importantly, the weather is getting cooler, especially in the morning and evening, when people already need to put on a coat to keep their body warm, but the heat in another dimension is starting to heat up.

For that world-renowned event, this time officially entered the sprint stage.

Because the war to determine the residency of 1900 for the next four years will be officially launched on the first Tuesday of the following month.

Yes, for both sides of the competition, this is tantamount to a war without gunpowder, and the time has come to show the dagger.

Even if there was no gunfire here, the smell of gunpowder was already very strong.

The people of the house at number 1900 were in a hurry, and countless people would gather at the two ends of the city for three days, holding various flags and shouting passionate slogans in solidarity with their supporters.

Security personnel are on standby.

There is no way, the supporters on both sides are evenly matched. If you don't agree with each other, you may really get into a fight.

After all, the law gives both sides the right to fight for their own beliefs.

Behind every passionate performance, whether there are interests involved is a matter of opinion.

Fortunately, people's adaptability is so strong that they are all used to it. Everyone is going through the process, and it doesn't matter if something bad happens, the heavily armed security personnel will naturally teach those who fish in troubled waters how to behave.

There are also many people who have been on the sidelines, who should have been the silent majority, but now seem to be in the minority.

In this worse world, everything that is happening is constantly subverting people's cognition, and they are gradually numb.

Fortunately, everything has nothing to do with Langley.

No one would come here to make trouble, so everything is still so quiet here.

Especially for those grassroots employees, the ownership of No. 1900 has little to do with them. It doesn't affect their jobs. As long as the federation does not shut down because of lack of money and does not affect their salaries, it is enough.

The more information you are exposed to, the more tired you are from this kind of farce.

Fortunately, they are not the target group that the big guys need to fight for. It's just that this kind of idleness makes many people who want to do things feel extremely uncomfortable.

But I had no choice but to pray that November would let everything settle down, and by January of the following year, whoever stayed in No. 1900 would quickly replace the current boss who didn't want to take care of things.

For those most junior employees, Christopher Brown is undoubtedly a good person.

Things have become less, but wages have not changed, which is to seek benefits for everyone in disguise.

When no one pays attention to the bright fishing, people's inertia will inevitably explode wildly, and then feel happiness and joy.

But according to the law of conservation of happiness, when some people feel happy, there must be people who are not so happy. Even if those happiness have to be returned after all, there will still be people in trouble at this moment.

This time the data security department is in trouble.

Just when most of the departments were in a semi-working state, they ushered in a not vigorous but extremely strict inspection.

Strictly because they are all insiders.

Data security protection is a very professional thing.

It's not that Langley doesn't pay attention to data security, on the contrary, it is precisely because they pay the most attention to this aspect of security, and have formulated a bunch of standards and measures, plus direct physical isolation of important confidential information to strictly control access rights......

It has even spent billions of dollars working with security companies to develop a complete set of intelligent security strategies.

Of course, whether all these billions of dollars were spent on this project is not up for debate.

With these, people usually don't pay too much attention to the things that people need to deal with, as long as the personnel responsible for monitoring at the grassroots level deal with them in accordance with the solidified operation process, they can basically eliminate the possibility of data leakage.

Even if it's not as strict, it's generally not a big problem.

After all, this is the mother country of Earth technology.

From hardware to software, they are all provided by their own companies, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to steal them.

In particular, the data that really involves top secrets is also stored in the storage device, but it is physically isolated. If you want to visit, you need to go through a series of complicated procedures. Without approval, you can't even get in with the door to operate the equipment.

Even if it is granted, it is not possible to access the information casually. Only the part of the application file can be retrieved, and all operations are recorded and backed up, and can be checked at any time. Theoretically, there is basically no possibility of leakage.

But now that we have received conclusive news and data leaks, it is natural to check whether these security efforts have been done in place.

This naturally includes George Garcia and his colleagues.

In fact, their complexity is the most vulnerable part of the whole work. In particular, falsified records can easily detect problems.

……

"Mr. Garcia, please be seated."

"I don't quite understand, what are you looking for me to do at this time?"

"Okay, take it easy, let me introduce myself, you can call me John, from the Ministry of Security. Today is just a routine review of security work. As long as everything is handled according to the normal process, it will be done in no time. All you need to do is answer a few random questions to make sure it's authentic. What school did you graduate from? ”

"Department of Computer Science, University of Brooklyn."

"Look, it's going well......"

"Actually, you don't need so much nonsense, just ask what you want. I've been vetted many times, and I know your style. And you're younger than me, so you can tell you've only been on the job for a few years, right? How did you get into this department? Got a good dad? ”

John Beluch stared at George Garcia, huh...... It's not too old fritter.

But he still cut to the chase: "So George, can you talk to me about this job?" For example, are you conscientious in your position? ”

"Sure, but I don't think it's necessary. All our work is fully recorded and recorded, and it is also strictly in accordance with the operating process. ”

"Well, I believe. Having said that, it's just a routine review. First question, please tell me the security process for encountering firewall alerts. ”

"Well, the first step is to immediately assess the type of alarm, the first is to confirm whether the alarm is true, and determine and record the type of alarm as soon as possible, the second step is to isolate and limit the damage, first of all, we need to isolate the affected system as soon as possible, and control network access; The third step is to immediately communicate within the department and activate the emergency response team......"

George Garcia immediately recited the rules that had already been rolled over for a long time.

Assess, restrict, respond, and then technical investigation, especially the most tedious step, which requires a complete review of the log files of the relevant systems and networks for any signs of unusual activity or intrusion, as per the normal process; This is followed by discussion and analysis to find the path of intrusion, identify vulnerabilities or misconfigurations, and understand possible attacker intent and approach......

These are then fully documented and handed over to the team responsible for repair, removal, and finally a summary report.

A complete workflow ends here.

Theoretically, every firewall alert needs to be handled in this way.

"So recently, since September 26th, as well as September 28th, September 29th, in these three days, the firewall system has triggered abnormal traffic alarms, we checked your work log, and found that the handling opinions are all false positives, do you dutifully evaluate and confirm the work in accordance with the regulations?"

"Of course."

"Okay, so please take a look, this is a daily compliance check for your work, as well as the handling of incident response history. What do you think of this report? ”

The voice fell, and a report was handed over.

George Garcia took the report and began to open it, then his face began to turn pale.

Facts have proved for the nth time that there is no fraud that cannot be detected, but it just depends on whether the person who checks it is serious.

George Garcia could see that the person who issued this report was very familiar with their daily work, and must have been an expert among experts, and from the system log report alone, he concluded that 80% of the reports they filed had closed the case without any processing at all.

Well, they do.

These people are obviously serious, and they have even been monitored a lot. Many violations have also been directly exposed.

The good news is that he's not the most out of the ordinary.

The colleagues who worked with him left their posts without permission and were filmed all over the whole process.

When he saw a familiar name among the signatories of the report on the last page, it was immediately clear to George Garcia.

It's no wonder that their workflow is so clear......

The master who once took him was obviously retired, but he was invited to wade into this troubled water. In order to earn extra money on top of that pension?

"Tell me, what do you think?"

John Beluche, who was in charge of the review on the other side, saw that George Garcia had turned to the last page, and immediately asked.

In fact, according to the formal inquiry, what he should ask at this time is whether the other party agrees with the report. But John Beluche didn't like the original routine.

He likes to set up a part of the dereliction of duty quibbles, and it is also the part that he personally thinks is the most interesting.

At this time, he can always see the most glorious or the most unbearable side of human nature, without exception.

To John Berlush's surprise, George Garcia turned out to be quite calm, with a look of no concern at all.

"No idea. Of course, if I had to say it, I think the scope of your investigation should be expanded. Shouldn't just look at the most recent filings, I propose an extension to three years. This way you'll be able to see what would have happened if you had followed the normal process.

I'm not defending myself. What if I follow the process? After the report, no one cares, if every firewall alarm, the system is isolated and access restricted at the first time, and then there are a bunch of complaints.

Do you think that the technician in the next department will think that we strictly follow the rules and regulations, which is commendable? Hehe...... They just think we're troublesome. It's obviously a small problem, but it needs to be magnified. Also, if it is finally ruled out as a false alarm, we will be scolded.

By the way, I saw that this report has Carter Smith's signature. Why don't you ask him, who taught me all this? Oh, by the way, I highly recommend that you also check the firewall response vulnerability, how many reports have been submitted, and how quickly the other side has responded to the fixes.

Oh, by the way, the technicians who are responsible for maintaining this security alarm system are paid three times as much as we do, but you should also check how efficient they are. If you really have that ability, you should find out whose pocket is the tens of millions of dollars in annual maintenance and repair costs. ”

"Heh......" John Belush smiled and said, "These are not the things you need to care about, we will definitely look into the things that should be checked." ”

"I'm sorry, it's not that I underestimated you, although I don't know if this investigation is because of what happened......"

At this point, George Cassia paused, and then said, "Let's make a bet." Although I don't know if your investigation is because something big has happened. But judging from the current situation, if there is a leak of data, your investigation will probably be about the same as ours, and it will not continue to expand, because if it goes further, it will not be able to hide it.

If nothing goes wrong, it's just a routine check for malfeasance, and you happen to be a guy who likes to be more serious, then it's even more unlikely that you'll continue to expand, because even if you really want to, no one will agree to it. If you force it, trust me, you'll not be in Langley for long. ”

"Huh...... Sorry, I don't like to bet with people. But until the investigation is complete, I can only grieve you to live here for a while now, Mr. Kasia. Hope you understand. ”
