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

2. Open a Meetup group https://www.meetup.com/techdc/ and create the event at least one week in advance (you also should get the group administrator rights). Later, you can copy meetings and change small details and the date.
   1. title (required): CNM Cyber 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);
   5. description: it should include meeting details and an agenda, for example: description. You also should add the specific details to be discussed at this particular meeting for each event;
   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. Select a relevant, but wide range of topics that describe our event. For example: Career Networks, Job Search, Reporting, Recruiting & Hiring, Project Management;
   7. location: make this an online event and add the link;
   8. allow guests: the number is to be decided, but it's allowed.

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 https://setka.bskol.com/index.php?r=space%2Fspace%2Fhome&cguid=c45e8dff-a421-4e31-a29e-f06e7fb34792 publishes all the announcement and notifications for online Events.
