What I usually am doing is reading and studying up on the latest security technologies and compliance challenges, along with working towards an "auditors" state of mind ( so GSNA and CISA and Crisc certifications on the horizon) along with learning penetration testing techniques and auditing systems with Backtrack and Metasploit and other open-source tools.

That thing/technology you wondered about - read up on that. Or got to Experts Exchange and see if you can answer the questions posted there - you can learn some interesting things on EE and get a feel for what others are doing. I haven't visited EE in a long time myself... From: Paul Hutchings [mailto:paul.hutchi...@mira.co.uk] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2011 10:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: What do you do when things go quiet? When you finish a major project and there's nothing specific on the horizon, what sort of things do you do to improve the services that you offer your customers? I'm conscious of how I word this as I certainly don't want to come across as complacent or as if there isn't a constant trickle of "things" to be getting on with, but some things can't be done simply due to money ("upgrade entire business to Windows 7 & Office 2010 isn't going to happen) you can reach a point where, until the next bunch of patches and updates come along, the SAN works, vSphere works, Windows works, plus there are limits on what you can do in working hours due to impact. I can always find a stream of things to do such as researching future replacement hardware/software but I'm interested in the things you do to improve the services you offer the business and your users/customers. I've probably not worded that fantastically, but hopefully you get the idea. ________________________________ MIRA Ltd Watling Street, Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV10 0TU, England Registered in England and Wales No. 402570 VAT Registration GB 100 1464 84 The contents of this e-mail are confidential and are solely for the use of the intended recipient.
