rugk 397 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Very thanks to @esetglobal for posting this. And of course also thanks to International Business Times (IB Times)... Debunking the Hollywood hacker myth: Inside a real cyber-security command centrewww.ibtimes.co.uk The depiction of hackers and cyber-attack in Hollywood films is typically so far removed from what really happens as to border on the farcical. Everything from Jurassic Park to Swordfish, Die Hard 4.0, and the eponymous Hackers, all suggest that cyber-attacks take place in real time, can be tracked, visualised and more importantly stopped as fast as they've happened. Even the most gullible film fan surely knows that this is not what happens in real life, but the question is, what does really happen in real life.To find out I visited the command centre of Eset, one of the world's largest cyber-security companies, located on the River Danube overlooking the old town of Bratislava in Slovakia. So have a look into it... Edited December 16, 2014 by rugk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Moderators foneil 342 Posted December 16, 2014 ESET Moderators Share Posted December 16, 2014 Haha, definitely a journalistic perspective of the place (yes, I've been there). Nice write up, thanks for posting here rugk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweX 871 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Officially, Eset occupies floors 16, 17, 18 and 19 of the Aupark Tower but we were told it also occupies a 20th floor that appears to be so secret it's not even listed on the building's lifts. Of course it's not listed in the elevator, its the secret floor where they test out new technologies. It's not that hard to figure out that if you want to get there you have to use a parachute and land on the roof, then crawl through a secret air vent, then open the door on the right with an "e" on it and say the secret password ************ to the guard to gain access . Yep that's how it is. Edited December 17, 2014 by SweX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the janitor would have a hard time making any use of that cash, since we adopted Euro in 2009 and the Slovak Koruna can now only be exchanged in the NBS (National Bank of Slovakia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like our Krona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
