Open Gi are trying to convince me to go over to their Cloud System, with all of the associated products, benefits etc.
I can see the advantages of doing so but my account manager has advised me (and has double checked his own advice) that my staff will then be able to access our Open Gi system from anywhere even outside of the office. I don't think I'm going mad here but why would any broker want to allow staff to do that ? I have one person who can access Open Gi remotely from his house but that is because I authorised him to. I have even put to my account manager that why had no one thought of this 'issue' at Open Gi. He has just advised me that they have had a number of comments about this and are trying to find a solution but there isn't one at the moment.
I assume other brokers are aware of this who have already swapped to this system, but can anyone tell me if they have found their own solution to stop staff accessing the system outside of work. Many thanks.
Hi Val - I've not heard this being an issue generally - very strange. OGI will be best to investigate. Would be good to know the outcome!!
Just a thought - is it only the extract / csv with the issue - or does the full printed report still not report these?
Has anyone else come across this problem, we are getting quite a few cases where the renewal is not populating on the list. OGI have been looking at this from the copy CSV lists we have sent them, but have not resolved this issue yet.
Partnership deals that are in the interests of Open-GI's profits and not the best infrastructure for their clients.
HP - (30% returns from printers to servers when I worked for a HP partner. Haven't been pleasantly surprised with 6 more years of dealing with their hardware).
Microsoft - Oh ook another 60 security holes and a zero-day (M$ product zero-days can only be fixed or mitigated by Microsoft) that has been actively exploited for over two months now.
Sophos - Tavis Ormandy of Google's top security team, charitably wrote a 30 page paper, which concludes that the company was "working with good intentions" but is "ill-equipped to handle the output of one co-operative security researcher working in his spare time". Recently, they forced through Multi-Factor Authentication for their "cloud" management site (which has a really useless, coutnerintuitve and uninformative interface), that is completely useless in a ransomware take over, you could easily be left without access to your "cloud". They should implement physical keys if they are going to push for this, not software methods that can be taken over as part of an attack.
