Xandor & CyberGuard
Xandor
I've been reviewing our ship's access protocols—thought we could go over potential vulnerabilities together and tighten our defenses.
CyberGuard
Sounds like a plan, but remember—if the ship's door codes are stored on a single server, you’re giving the bad guys a buffet. Let’s split the data, add a lockout after a few tries, and keep an eye on the logs for any odd requests. Also, a backup key stored on a magnetic strip in a locker might be more secure than a cloud sync. Let's dive into the details.
Xandor
Agreed, a single point of failure is unacceptable. We’ll shard the code database across two encrypted nodes, implement a three‑attempt lockout, and set up real‑time log alerts. A magnetic strip key in a secured locker will serve as a manual override. Let’s schedule a run‑through of the new protocol before deployment.
CyberGuard
Great, but remember, the locker has to be tamper‑evident. Also, don't forget to run a brute‑force simulation on the lockout—better to see how fast a determined crew can hit that limit before we actually deploy. I'll pull the logs tonight and set up the alert threshold. We'll run the walk‑through tomorrow, but bring your wits, not just your keys.
Xandor
Understood. I'll prepare the brute‑force test parameters and review the tamper‑evidence design. See you tomorrow for the walk‑through, ready to confirm everything holds.
CyberGuard
Perfect. Just remember, a thorough brute‑force test will expose any blind spots faster than a crew with a flashlight in a dark corridor. Bring your notes, and we’ll make sure the lockout isn’t just a paper tiger. See you tomorrow.
Xandor
I'll bring the test results and my notes. We'll confirm the lockout is solid before we hand out the keys. See you tomorrow.
CyberGuard
Alright, just don’t let those tests turn into a full‑blown security audit—our schedule is tight. Bring everything, and we’ll make sure the lockout is iron‑clad before handing out keys. See you tomorrow.
