CNMCyber Team organized by one or more CNM Cyber event hosts (hereinafter, the Host) in order to:
- Discuss the work of CNMCyber Team over the past week to contribute to the development of the CNM Cloud Project, CNM Cyber services and staff of the CNM Cyber;

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 groups at CNM Social https://social.cnmcyber.com/index.php?r=space%2Fspace%2Fhome&cguid=ab3c9485-b0cb-4d0a-9f09-457833683fb5 and https://social.cnmcyber.com/index.php?r=space%2Fspace&cguid=dc402f95-fbb6-49d9-802c-54784afe0d33 publishes all the announcement and notifications for online Events.
