One of the truths in security is that while an attacker can stay hidden they can continue to operate. In short, if you do not know about something, there is nothing you can do. Now you would think that this fact would encourage firms to talk about breaches and hacks more openly, but this is still not the case. One of the things I have seen over the years is that every company operates as an island. They do not share threat information (they might share your private data, but not threat information). This has created an environment where threat actors can continue to maintain attacks even after discovery at a different location. It is also why we tend to see the same threat vectors used over and over again.

CES 2015, Las Vegas NV - Palazzo
Out of all of the people we visited during CES 2015 Thermaltake’s suite was one of the most interesting. When we walked in we found three full suites packed with cases, cooling, power supplies and items aimed right at the gamers out there. I was rather impressed even before Shannon Rob came by to show everything off.

CES 2015 Las Vegas, NV Patriot Suite Bellagio
Stopping by the Patriot suite at the Bellagio we found Patriot talking about some pretty cool new items in addition to their normal memory products. We kicked off our meeting with a walk through of their flash memory products.

CES 2015 Las Vegas, NV LVCC
When we stopped by the Synology booth at CES we had the chance to take a look at Synology’s latest idea to bring better network storage to the masses. This is their BeyondCloud concept which takes the most commonly used applications and pre-loads them onto your storage device. This lets the consumer get as close to plug and play as possible. We spoke with Franklin Hua about this new concept as well as a new 10Gbe NAS box that is bound to eat into some of the mid-range SAN market.
