Remember guys, it took about a decade for Solar Winds to discover somebody had root access to everybody that used their software, another decade for somebody outside Solar Winds to discover it and tell everybody, and half a decade with nobody claiming to have solved the issue up to now.
So when you believe that your computer with an EDS is safe just because you can’t use it, think again.
But there also exists Endpoint Detection and Prevention System, Intrusion Prevention System, Enterprise Security system, Network Threat Detection, Network Threat Prevention… And all those things name the exact same products (or at least, products you buy bundled on the same package).
Somehow I managed to use the one acronym that is wrong.

EDS?
It’s an oops.
It should be IDS.
That’s intrusion detection system, right?
Yep.

WAF is my favorite. It sounds so goofy.
