CNMCyber This Week

CNMCyber This Week (or, simply, this week; hereinafter, the Series) is the series of CNMCyber events that CNMCyber Coordinators organize on a weekly basis to exchange ideas, to present new developments and plans, as well as to market their work.

CNMCyber Team organized by one or more CNM Event Organizers (hereinafter, the Host) in order to:

1. Discuss the work of CNMCyber Team over the past week to contribute to the development of the CNM Cloud Project, CNMCyber services and staff of the CNMCyber;

The Event can also be used to attract people's interest in the project who can become buyers of CNMCyber services later. Unless the Event is Invitation-only, CNMCyber Meetup and CNM Social group serve as primary Communication channels (hereinafter, the Channels).

Development of the Series occurs under the CNMCyber This Week project.

   1. title (required): CNMCyber This Week;
   2. date and time: time details;
   3. duration: online events are one hour long;
   4. featured photo: it can be CNM Cyber logo and other logos as well as photos from previous events (if they were offline);

   6. topics: you can pick up to 5 topics. Topics describe what your Meetup event is about in a word or two. They also help show our event to members with matching interests.

The online Events shall start any time between 9am and 3pm EST (American East Cost), which is 4pm and 10 pm EAT (Eastern African Time) and so on. However, no two Events can be planned simultaneously.

The Wiki publishes all the content of the Event including its specific agenda, minutes, and all available recordings. The recordings will also be published on YouTube playlist called CNMCyber This Week and AVideo in order to be available to the general public.

Texts and graphics

Security

For security, we use Fail2ban because it operates by monitoring log files (e.g. /var/log/auth.log, /var/log/apache/access.log, etc.) for selected entries and running scripts based on them. Most commonly this is used to block selected IP addresses that may belong to hosts that are trying to breach the system's security. It can ban any host IP address that makes too many login attempts or performs any other unwanted action within a time frame defined by the administrator. Includes support for both IPv4 and IPv6.

Calls use the P2P mode, which is end-to-end encrypted via DTLS-SRTP between the two participants for encrypted communication (secure communication). Group calls also use DTLS-SRTP encryption, but rely on the Jitsi Videobridge (JVB) as video router, where packets are decrypted temporarily. All data is transmitted only through our server, and comprehensive TLS encryption provides protection against interception and unauthorized eavesdropping.

Malware protection

Previously, CNM Cloud developers struggled with the viruses, so an effective anti-virus strategy must be found -- what was the solution?

User group

The Meetup group https://www.meetup.com/techdc/ and the user group at CNM Social CNMCyber Users publishes all the announcement and notifications for online Events. The group at CNM Social CNMCyber Event Organizers publishes all the recommendations for online Events. The group at CNM Social Welcome (group) publishes all the recommendations for new members.
