September 22, 2016 marked the arrival of the autumn equinox: the first day of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of spring in the Southern Hemisphere. It was also a day where things just did not go my way and I should have just stayed in bed. Traffic was especially heavy that morning, I had a slight wardrobe malfunction at work, and to top it off? My shoe strap came apart! Just like the moon’s phases and gravitational pull affects tides and human behavior, could the autumn equinox have an effect on us too? After some quick research, I found that many believe that the equinox can have an effect on us and one definite effect is the temporary disruption of communication satellites, due to the sun the sun going directly behind the satellite relative to Earth for a short period each day. 

There will always be bad days when things just don’t go our way, so it’s always a good idea to have a backup plan. When traffic was bad that morning, I used a traffic app to find me an alternate route. I was able to borrow an extra t-shirt someone had at work to deal with my slight wardrobe malfunction, and when my shoe strap broke, I was able to wear the emergency flip flops I keep at my desk. You should take the same approach and deploy a defense-in-depth security strategy to protect your network for those bad days that may come.
