Dundas » Authorized to shutdown the data center, update Thu, 14 Jan 2010 03:20:34 +0000 http://michaeldundas.com/?p=1317#comment-5364 [...] I posted a couple weeks ago about operators monitoring systems, discovering a serious exploit in progress and determining what to do if no one was available to make a call such as shutting down a service.  What metrics are in place such as length of time, number of phone calls, seriousness of incident, that allow an individual to make a call that might affect the business confidently.  My example was one where it was discovered that a hacker was slowly siphoning off account information at a financial institution. I don’t know what this particular institutions procedures were, but turns out my fictional example happened.  Not surprised as it is a valid scenario in todays world, but thought it was worth commenting.
