    Prevent Double Counting for Multi Selection List Using the Aggregate Option in Advanced Synchronization

    Enable IS NOT NULL index fragment elimination in IDS14

    We were advised in TS021736198 "Partial index query plan change" to exclude NULL values from being indexed by having them in the REMAINDER partition with INDEX OFF. That fixed query plans on other values, and nested loop joins worked again, but we...

    Operational Technology Isolation Rehearsal Standard

    PROBLEM: Isolation plans for operational technology exist on paper and fail in practice, because the first time anyone tries to cut OT from the corporate network, vendors, and cloud is during the incident — when nobody knows what breaks. SOLUTION:...

    Water-Sector Cyber Incident Notification and Continuity Standard

    PROBLEM: When a water utility's controls are hit, the public learns late and in fragments — while the utility is already running manual operations and issuing boil-water notices with no shared playbook for either. SOLUTION: A notification and cont...
