Information Technology Security Posture

Here are a few quotes from Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" that can be applied to the IT security industry:

Know Thyself, Know Thy Enemy: Understand your own systems and vulnerabilities, as well as the tactics and techniques of potential attackers.
The Greatest Victory is That Which Requires No Battle: Proactive security measures, such as regular patching, strong access controls, and employee training, can prevent many attacks before they occur.
Attack is the Secret of Defense; Defense is the Planning of an Attack: A strong defense requires a proactive approach, including penetration testing and red teaming exercises to identify and address weaknesses.
If Ignorant Both of Your Enemy and Yourself, You Are Certain to Be in Peril: Neglecting either your own security posture or the threat landscape can lead to disastrous consequences.

Solar Energy Investments

COG invests its excess working capital in Solar Energy generation in developing countries, especially ones where the energy usage curve follows that of the sun (e.g. air conditioning loads). Our current project consists of 1 MWp, with 10 MWp planned over the next five years. Where practical, we use the solar energy that we generate as one of the energy sources for our private data centers.

Clear is the pathway to he who has wisdom. Open the door to the Kingdom of Light. Pour forth thy flame as a Sun of the morning. Shut out the darkness and live in the day.

-Thoth

Support for Cryptocurrency

COG heavily supports policies enabling open and free access to cryptocurrency usage for all types of transactions. We believe that through the use of smart contracts and further developments, traditional banking will be replaced by a self governing system which offers true parity for minimal fees, risk and without government corruption. We believe that every financial transaction or contract conducted by humanity should be consenting by all parties involved.

"Master are ye of your destiny, free to take or reject at will." [...] Preserve them and guard them, hide them in symbols, so the profane will laugh and renounce. In every land, form ye the mysteries. Make the way hard for the seeker to tread. Thus will the weak and the wavering be rejected. Thus will the secrets be hidden and guarded, held till the time when the wheel shall be turned.
