Traffic sentinel

PANAJI: The state government is set to bring back the traffic sentinel scheme from April, but with a twist. Instead of citizen involvement and monetary rewards, only police personnel will now be allowed to photograph and report violators. Instead of cash rewards, they will be given five-star stay and other gift vouchers provided under corporate social responsibility (CSR). "We are formulating a new traffic sentinel scheme for police personnel, and it will most probably be implemented from April," said DGP Jaspal Singh. "We are finalising the scheme with utmost care so that police do not invite criticism." Traffic SP Bossuet Silva said that while initially, the public won't be allowed to join the scheme, the possibility may be opened up at a later date. Silva said that earlier, some people engaged employees to click photos for the cash rewards. "This will not be allowed this time," he said. Explaining how CSR will be used in the scheme, Silva said, "We will take on board hotels, establishments, and industry, among others, to reward police personnel under CSR for the new traffic sentinel scheme". He said that police are already in talks with hotels and other industries about this. Violations likely to be reported under the scheme include driving against the flow of traffic, parking on footpaths or zebra crossings, triple-seat riding, improper number plates, driving without seatbelt, riding without helmet, using vehicle with tinted glasses, using phone while riding or driving...

Building or modernizing a Java enterprise web app has always been a long process, historically. Not even remotely quick. That's the main goal of Jmix is to make the process quick without losing flexibility - with the open-source RAD platform enabling fast development of business applications. Critically, it has very minimal impact on your server's performance, with most of the profiling work done separately - so it needs no server changes, agents or separate services. Simply put, a single Java or Kotlin developer can now quickly implement an entire modular feature, from DB schema, data model, fine-grained access control, business logic, BPM, all the way to the UI. Jmix supports both developer experiences – visual tools and coding, and a host of super useful plugins as well: >> Try out Jmix Slow MySQL query performance is all too common. Of course it is. A good way to go is, naturally, a dedicated profiler that actually understands the ins and outs of MySQL. The Jet Profiler was built for MySQL only, so it can do things like real-time query performance, focus on most used tables or most frequent queries, quickly identify performance issues and basically help you optimize your queries. Critically, it has very minimal impact on your server's performance, with most of the profiling work done separately - so it needs no server changes, agents or separate services. Basically, you install the desktop application, connect to your MySQL server, hit the record button, and you'll hav...

• • Security is a constant balance between proactive and reactive defenses. They are both equally important, and neither can be neglected. Effectively protecting your organization means constantly optimizing both prevention and detection. That’s why we’re excited to announce a seamless integration between Combining prevention and detection allows you to ensure that you both prevent sophisticated threats when you can, while also maintaining an “assume breach mentality” to detect and quickly respond to cyberattacks. Azure Sentinel and Azure Firewall: Better together The seamless integration of Azure Firewall and Azure Sentinel enables security operations with three key capabilities: • Monitoring and visualizing Azure Firewall activities. • Detecting threats and leveraging AI-assisted investigation capabilities. • Automating response and correlation to other sources. The whole experience is packaged as a solution in the How do you deploy and enable the Azure Firewall solution for Azure Sentinel? Deploying the solution is simple. You can find it in the “Solutions” blade in your Azure Sentinel workspace, called the “Azure Firewall Solution for Azure Sentinel.” Figure 1: Azure Sentinel solutions preview. Once you open the Azure Firewall solution, simply hit the “create” button, follow all the steps in the wizard, pass validation, and create the solution. With just a few clicks, all content—including connectors, detections, workbooks, and playbooks that we’ll cover below—will be ...

In this article Traffic analytics is a cloud-based solution that provides visibility into user and application activity in your cloud networks. Specifically, traffic analytics analyzes Azure Network Watcher network security group (NSG) flow logs to provide insights into traffic flow in your Azure cloud. With traffic analytics, you can: • Visualize network activity across your Azure subscriptions. • Identify hot spots. • Secure your network by using information about the following components to identify threats: • Open ports • Applications that attempt to access the internet • Virtual machines (VMs) that connect to rogue networks • Optimize your network deployment for performance and capacity by understanding traffic flow patterns across Azure regions and the internet. • Pinpoint network misconfigurations that can lead to failed connections in your network. Note Traffic analytics now supports collecting NSG flow logs data at a frequency of every 10 minutes. Why traffic analytics? It's vital to monitor, manage, and know your own network for uncompromised security, compliance, and performance. Knowing your own environment is of paramount importance to protect and optimize it. You often need to know the current state of the network, including the following information: • Who is connecting to the network? • Where are they connecting from? • Which ports are open to the internet? • What's the expected network behavior? • Is there any irregular network behavior? • Are there any su...

In this article This section reviews best practices for collecting data using Microsoft Sentinel data connectors. For more information, see Prioritize your data connectors If it's unclear to you which data connectors will best serve your environment, start by enabling all The free data connectors will start showing value from Microsoft Sentinel as soon as possible, while you continue to plan other data connectors and budgets. For your If your data ingestion becomes too expensive, too quickly, stop or filter the logs forwarded using the Tip Custom data connectors enable you to ingest data into Microsoft Sentinel from data sources not currently supported by built-in functionality, such as via agent, Logstash, or API. For more information, see Filter your logs before ingestion You may want to filter the logs collected, or even log content, before the data is ingested into Microsoft Sentinel. For example, you may want to filter out logs that are irrelevant or unimportant to security operations, or you may want to remove unwanted details from log messages. Filtering message content may also be helpful when trying to drive down costs when working with Syslog, CEF, or Windows-based logs that have many irrelevant details. Filter your logs using one of the following methods: • The Azure Monitor Agent. Supported on both Windows and Linux to ingest • Logstash. Supports filtering message content, including making changes to the log messages. For more information, see Important Using L...
