We are currently following updates about a new ransomware attack using a variant malicious code known as “Petya”. This is part of a new wave of multi-vector ransomware attacks that some are calling “ransomworm” which takes advantage of timely exploits.
It’s a ransomware attack with the ability to self-propagate. It also uses exploits from the April Shadow Brokers dump of NSA hacking tools. The WannaCry attack began on Friday, May 12th and spread rapidly through Europe and the rest of the world, affecting millions of systems.
Dawn Khan, Director of Technology Services at RoundTable Technology, will moderate a panel at NPCC’s Pathways to Excellence Workshop: Excellence in Information Technology. NPCC describes the workshop in this way:
Joshua Peskay, Vice President of Technology Strategy at RoundTable Technology, will present two workshops at NTEN’s 2017 Nonprofit Technology Conference in Washington D.C.
At RoundTable, we may be techies, but when it came to our website, we found ourselves encountering many of the same challenges that our clients ask us to solve for them. Over time, we found that our original WordPress site wasn’t meeting our needs, and we were struggling to routinely manage and update the site in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Joshua Peskay teamed up with Dan Rivas of Idealware for an article in NTEN’s March edition of Connect. The article, Assessing Risk: How to Protect Your Most Valuable Data demystifies the process of assessing your data, and the risks to it.
Happy new year! Here are some reading recommendations to get started for the new year. If there is one common theme throughout, it is that of learning. In an increasingly complex and resource-constrained world, continuous learning is one of the most effective responses to navigating the complex and changing world.
I (Joshua) have been an expert trainer for Idealware for over two years now. In my role as expert trainer, I help Idealware develop new sessions (on cloud security, for example) and also act as an instructor for in-person workshops and webinars.
In the coming three weeks, I’ll be leading a three-part webinar series for Accidental Techies.
In the “Should I Care?” series we present topics that seem to be on the minds of many folks at the nonprofits with whom we work. In these blog posts, we’ll try to answer the basic question of whether it’s something you should care about or not and, if so, what you might want to do about it.
