This was mesmerizing even surpassing "Plan 9 from Outer Space" - and I cannot wait for the sequel - i hope they sign Briana and the African American gentleman - John - what a chemistry. Also i love the way it shows the reality of cyber defence with:

a. War room with staff typing very quickly - an excellent sign
b. Alpha male manager using cliches straight from NCIS: "The clock's ticking..", "Let's Go Let's Go, then response = "I am on it...." His crisis management skills were phenominal
I really think he is wasted at the GRS Tech. Solutions Centre - he should be working at North American Aerospace Command or NATO on Hypersonic missile defence
c. Incredible graphics and a dedicated young team

I really hope the receptionist was not disciplined over this.
Thank you GRS - i will sleep easier tonight

People in SOC room looks busy like typing an article on newspaper company LOL

[ante]

Apart of the her clicking on the link, the IT part of the video is so NOT how this works.

[rohanhazari]

Who's here because of college video assignment 😂

[TheAdenviolet]

the receptionist's monitor wasn't even plugged in lmaoo

The SOC Analysis people on their side of view was amazing, it was truly real, but they didn't do any kind Reverse engineer with testing out on those ransomware on how they did it to find more info about it, so they would start the phase of more in Alert, Dected, Hunt, collection, Malware Analysis, Reverse Engineer, and Report

The Ransomware attack on the person who click it on the email was real, but all the other things wasn't because it would have to be a blue screen update rather than that

I would rate it to 7/10 because the flim is showing the fun part of the reaility rather than the full version, but as me into Cyber Security on somewhat Defender and some is in Attacker, most is in Intelligences stuff.

[abdirazakmohamedibrahim]

interesting! you made the idea clear and to the point.

[aaronnaser]

Does not make sense at all. Most AVs should be able to detect it before it even does anything assuming the ransomware was not highly sophisticated. If Malware did infect her computer it would’ve already infected the other computers since that type of malware is designed to be automatic. Security professionals do not have time as it is almost instantaneous.

[gracetaguitag]

I'm here because of my assignment, about Reaction Paper 😢

[kenstoudamire]

Just have the receptionist PC on a bubble network with internet access

[bbth]

Just delete System32 and you'll be fine. Trust me I've seen all seasons of NCIS. Also a gig of ram should do it. :)

[kaikiefer]

So why did the AV see ransomeware and not just stop it in the first place? Can you roll back data exfiltration when that happens? Also, thought SentinelOne didn't need people...

[shire-lee]

Love the GUI = "stop virus > Apply" Terrible acting, terrible short.

[persona]

I was expecting the secretary to undergo a death sentence or something like that. But nice movie nonetheless.

[manomite]

Lol... Am sure they must have had backups to recover the files...

[PeterLawton]

Easy fix: uninstall all things Microsoft, including Windows. Problem solved.

[EkoWidodo-dsyx]

Mintak tolong sebarin d sosmed ada yg tau tempat robot n aplikasi yg punyak alat canggi banget

[amirfakhri]

Who is so fast, just click click and some error repair coding settle ??Macfee do as block already before you click they have deep scan manual and engine if you just want to play you fail first .

[metehanylmaz]

Mİght be the cringiest video I have ever seen on the internet LMAO

[justethical]

well, it looks they are using Sentinelone so this Movie and story cannot be :)
