It depends on the kind of work.

Does she have a CISSP, or similar.
How many years in security?

Or maybe the experience is in the office back room, or CEO's office with the doors closed.

Either way, with Insider Trading allegations, info coming out 4 or months out, bonehead releases and f**ked up websites, poor patching policies, etc. He's going to have to kiss a lot of politicians butts to get out of this one.

Since more recent versions of Windows aren't vulnerable to WannaCry, it makes sense that most of the infections would hit computers running 7. Still, the stark disparity emphasizes how small of a role Windows XP seems to have played in spreading the infection, despite early concerns about the outdated operating system.

Really old systems in Hospitals that only run winblows XP and were effecting the lives of patents were the main concerns on the XP front. Only a few getting infected with wcry and encrypting critical patent files can seriously effect how Medical Facilities are functioning. I don't doubt that Win 7 got hit hardest. When it gets behind the weak hospital firewall and starts killing that shit, XP boxes didn't have the available patch to stave it off.

As long as we have a *functioning* democracy this really isn't a major issue.

I have some bad news for you. We are not a Democracy, we are a Republic. We have some very subtle but important differences. We have a Democratic Congress ( Which isn't very functional at this point ), but as a republic, the rights of the individual are protected by the Constitution (which is being ignored by our non-functional congress, courts and administrative branches).

The only entities that have the power to change this at this point are the States. They can call a convention, and reign in the feds. Lets hope they pull it off.

There's some truth to this. But on this last election cycle, Bernie is probably pretty close to a the humble side, not the wacko side of the scale. If the dem's handn't shot him down and let him win. I don't think we'd have trump in the big house.

There are a very large number of people out there that don't want a bunch of gangsters like the clintons in office.
