SECURITY RESEARCH AND DATA PRIVACY
Always Rambling on about Games and Security
Observations,mistrust chronicles and exploits
A stark picture was painted by CheckPoint founder Gil Shwed who stated very clearly how the landscape is getting more and more complex with a monster of 16 attack vectors with countermeasures of 26+ security technologies ramping up to a complexity rating of 416 just to stand still.
An absolute nightmare for any Security Analyst responsible for the organisation’s controls.
In the meantime, new threat actors are born everyday.
With only a few weeks remaining for the big global launch, I’ve removed all games bar HitMan and FallOut 76.
I’ll be offline PS4 until launch day anyhow so will miss the public Beta.
Divison 2 perks are easier to understand and simplier to purchase.
My first few hours of gameplay in the FallOut 76 environment were pure immersion as much of the mechanics are simply a follow on from the 2015 FallOut 4. This is brilliant for fans of the series, but I can see why some gamers won’t be playing long term especially being an online game where you seldom bump into other players. This evident with the 36% within three months of release.
My playlist schedule is packed with juicy titles.
Naturally, the Division 2 hype train is unstoppable with millions of gamers on standby for the beta and full game. A new ecosystem will spring up around the game and support services like Discord will be on fire.
Anyhow, I started on a new 2-year MSc journey teaching and learning.
No New Year’s resolutions just a desire to do better, break the Status Quo and ditch the disappointments of 2018.
The New Year always serves are an excellent reset point. This year it’s really awkward returning back to “normal” life after the past few week Caribbean exploration. I’ll be jumping the highly criticized FallOut 76 universe which was surprisingly reduced in price way ahead of the normal lifecycle.
How bad can it be?
I was gifted The 2017 Resident Evil 7: Biohazard but will hibernate this survival horror and head back to grinding the Division.
