Enterprise technology's juxtaposition, complementarity and application

The ability to see within an enterprise with operations requiring various technologies in information, communication, operational, security and compliance, or two or more of these, finds stakeholders, or the need to adjust techniques and make, some ingenious ways to be more effective in their responsibilities and deliverables or production. Enterprise technology is not an area and language to be used where there are only some specializations involved but which still within the confines of information technology. IT may have been serving utility operations or energy generation for sometime already and yet stakeholders cannot see how to work hand-in-hand to increase their own efficiency, and the output for which customers are very dependent. There are efforts but they remain completely separate and the result is the bigger realizations and concerns about costs rather than creation of value from the start, not just when profits began to come in. If IT is not clearly use in such environmen

Resources on Google i.e. Search and Sites, unavailable due to "unusual traffic"

 The notification or error message is exactly as the following:

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. Please try your request again later. Why did this happen?

You've searched using different search engines and found some including those from

And some more from other sites with causes almost the same.

If you've tried all of those and still unable to reach the resource you need, there are a few things left you can check.

That resource is hosted on Google. How each of those different resource there respond, their sensitivity to network activity, however, are not the same. Youtube seemed impervious, most tolerable, though.

This kind of error you are getting is happening only to you and probably within your network. It may include your connection through LAN, if you have more than one computers or devices connected to your modem/switch/WiFi/router, usual for broadband, depending on your internet setup, home or office. It may also be due to how your internet service provider or telco is assigning and distributing IP addresses, especially, when you have not been given a static IP address. In many cases, a static IP address is not provided unless you ask for it. There might also be an additional fee as is the usual for broadband connections, not leased lines.

With IP assignment and distribution, your telco uses auto-configuration which shuffles or rotates the addresses to whoever is connected to the network, usually within a vicinity or in technical term, it is called network block or subnetwork(s) of IP, which groups a certain number of computers.

Your computer's IP address is not always the same, when the lease time is over or as soon as you are disconnected, that same IP address you used will be released for another computer to use. 

You can tell if your computer's IP address changes including the time interval they occur. You can even see how many different IP addresses are being assigned to that single computer (if this happens in a LAN) or router (usual for telco network device called customer premises equipment or CPE). It doesn't matter if your broadband connection is a cable, fiber or wireless. Internet protocols consider these as links, as mediums, and no preferences whatsoever, can be afforded to any. And that preferential treatment, if any, is done by either the resource owner, content provider or your telco. 

An unusual access to a Google resource, may mean that your computer is causing it without you knowing or that your broadband network, and the computers connected to it, have somebody doing it intentionally or their setup and policies are just that messy.

If you are alone and you're certain that your computer is hardened, you don't access and download files from illegal sites, then it's definitely your broadband network's.

If you are an enterprise and your connection is leased line, the only one who can eliminate such unusual traffic is you, alone. The sooner you start investigating, the more information and ideas you learn or discover, and the faster you'll resolve the problem. After that and you are certain your network is really fine, contact your telco first and if they don't know why, the last thing you can do is communicate with Google or just wait until you can access the resource again.

Philippine telcos blocking entire SMS text with internet addresses in it

If you are sending SMS texts to your friends, family or colleagues and they contain internet or web address including IP and email addresses, and even a period or dot separating, regardless of, your words and numbers, they are automatically blocked and not going to be received by your waiting recipient. Cooler heads must prevail here especially if an important message is urgently being expected. IP version 6 address is fine. However, an IPv4 including localhost address (given automatically to every computers and network interfaces as their own alone designed for troubleshooting purposes), and your money in the billion figure using dot as separators would be blocked.  If you send "local.business, naman.naman etcetera" or any words that made you use dot in between them, as part of the text, they will be blocked. There are some, that isn't blocked in this category. Like check.iclassed, some.ent, whatever.local etcetera, that is because they do not form any domain name at all

Philippine cyber campaign

Are Philippine institutions being targeted or simply being probed? We don't know for certain. It could be either or both. Whichever comes first? What we can understand, with the success of such attacks, is that they have found their way. Really.   How hard or easy? The attacker knows, but probably, also, those being attacked. Inclination should be there no matter how sophisticated our security systems are. In cybersecurity, we do a very focused job. Making sure we disappoint whoever is trying to gain access to any resource without permission and authority regardless of the environment we are in. What happened is that every asset deemed to have every variant of resource built-in, operating, that makes up the entire system working whatever it is trying to employ, in that case the primary purpose. Meaning, we have to know if we are running our system in a manner that is really secure, provisioned properly during design stage and managed continuously afterwards, post-implementation. No

iclassed privacy policy, unbelievable at first sight

Those who, before engaging us and was reading our business conduct, alerts and notices , could not restrain themselves asking, "can you really do your job without keeping any data at all?
