Thursday AAR Daily Defense was an encore due to weather in the Dallas area at the Network Operations Center. We do not post podcasts of repeat episodes. Today Mark and Paul Markel discuss SCOTUS conference regarding the hearing to accept the "assault weapons" ban MD case, national CCW reciprocity bills filed in both the House and Senate this week, crime and looting in CA due to mass evacuations and fire hazards, and the response the thieves should face. Hint: it starts with gunfire to the face...or chest, take your pick.

Today's podcast guest is Don Szczepaniak, President and CEO of Prismview, a Samsung Electronics company which manufactures indoor and outdoor display products including digital billboards. Don talks about what Prismview has done to reduce the impact of tariffs and trends in digital billboard design. To receive a free Prismview white paper on trends in LED billboards click this link. Review Prismview's operations Prismview is headquartered in Logan Utah, about an hour and a half north of the Salt Lake City airport…our Network Operations Center is here in Logan, we have all manufacturing, all fabrication, all calibration, project management – it's all out of Logan…We produce modules in Mexico, we produce modules and assemble and final design work here in Logan…Our sales people are based all over the country. China tariffs have been big in the news. What's the current impact of tariffs on digital billboard components. It was a huge issue last summer. I spent a lot of time in DC testifying and working the halls of Congress as a representative of Prismview to get our message across as a US manufacturer headquartered in Utah which was being impacted by tariffs…at the same time we were looking at our supply chain….what Prismview did is we moved out of China…we shifted our excess production of modules. We still produce three shifts a day in Logan but we shifted our excess production of modules from China to a facility in Tijuana. It wasn't the only reason we moved. We shortened our supply chain. We got quicker response. We moved to a Samsung owned facility…but the tariffs contributed to our decision to move our production out of China… All LED manufacturers are still being impacted by tariffs on LED's. All LED's get produced in China. That impacts everybody equally…it is actually a scale that starts at 10% for some components and goes up to 25%...Because of the flexibility we have and the Samsung affiliate we were able to more our operations very quickly and avoid a tariff impact…We've made a statement to our customers that the tariff's impact will not be passed along to them. What trends you are seeing in digital billboard design? In the LED business it's getting bigger, smaller, more and less. All at the same time. You're seeing a drive to higher resolution. There was a time in Times Square when a 16 mm sign was perfectly fine…We're seeing more and more of the signs moving towards 8 mm. You're seeing in spectaculars, not so much in highway billboards, a continuing move from tru hole technology to surface mount… We are testing some prototypes from some of our vendors that will deliver a reduction in power…in the billboard industry power is cost and cost is important. So I don't think we're at the end of it yet. There's one other trend which is important. Outdoor to indoor and indoor to outdoor…The places and application for LED's…is growing 25% year over year…It's not because they signs are getting bigger. It's more places to put them. And as you get indoor the pressure and the need for fine pixel pitch…is really important. Fine pixel products will drive most of the growth in the digital out of home industry in the next few years.

Network Operations Center and Security Operations Center (NOC / SOC) teams have complex and challenging cognitive tasks that are crucial to the IT health of the organization, but existing tools and metrics do not support this range of tasks. To enhance their key tasks, namely situation awareness, incident response, prevention and knowledge sharing, it is critical to understand how people, tools and information sharing co-function in a NOC environment, and what limits their performance--from low-level analysts to their managers and team leads responsible for translating this NOC/SOC value to others in the organization. Beginning at RSA 2014, our research team began to explore how to improve the information available and displayed to NOC / SOC analysts, team leads, and managers. Our interviews and information display usability efforts are focused on recognizing and reducing the gaps that limit NOC/SOC effectiveness and integration with the rest of the organization. The two recurring themes that address the needs of lower- and higher-level analysts, and their managers were: 1) Analysts need to effectively turn data visualizations into usable presentations to increase network situation awareness, and 2) SOC leads and managers need tools and metrics to effectively communicate the status of the organization's network assets, team operations and company's incident response preparedness to the rest of the organization. Besides standard training, analysts are required to engage in the development of expertise and acquiring skills necessary to perform required tasks. Transfer of organizational knowledge to novice analysts efficiently is a vital process to maximize the organization's capabilities at all times. In preliminary interviews, network managers and team leads stated that they are unaware of tools that will allow them to document work procedures and cases to be used as a resource for novice analysts. They express frustration from the need of their continuous involvement in operational level tasks that interrupt their managerial tasks. About the speaker: Barrett S. Caldwell, PhD is a Professor in Industrial Engineering (and Aeronautics & Astronautics) at Purdue. His PhD (Univ. of California, Davis, 1990) is in Social Psychology; his two BS degrees are from MIT (1985).

Am dritten Tag der re:publica setzt erwartungsgemäß eine gewisse Ermattung ein. Nicht so in dieser Sendung! Friedemann Karig rüttelt bereits gleichsam gutgelaunt wie engagiert wach und wirbt für einen wirkungsmächtigeren Umgang mit der Überwachungsaffäre. Mit dem Wetterfrosch vom Network Operations Center feiern wir das zweitbeste WLAN, das die re:publica je hatte. Mit Florian Alexander Schmidt diskutieren wir eine zweifelhafte Variante der hunger games, auch bekannt als crowdsourced design. Moritz Metz hat das Internet gesucht und bringt Schnipsel davon in die Sendung mit. Sebastian Vollnhals erläutert, was freie Daten je für die re:publica getan haben bevor wir uns mit Paula Spagnoletti und Céline Keller in den Wald begeben - genauer gesagt in das corporate design Konzept der Konferenz. Laura Dornheim und Ralf gründen spontan eine Online-Selbsthilfegruppe für ehemalige Katholiken und übertragen das Konzept der Todsünden in die Digitalsphäre. Michael Graudenz und Simone Orgel geben zum Abschluss Einblicke in die Logistik der Konferenz, bevor eine autonome Aktion das eigentlich schon durchgestanden geglaubte #sendegate wieder aufleben lässt.
