Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly developing technology with the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives. While there are some concerns about the potential negative impacts of AI, there are also many ways that it can be used for good. Here are some examples of how AI is being used for good: Healthcare: AI is being used to develop new drugs and treatments, improve diagnosis and treatment of diseases, and provide personalized healthcare. For example, AI-powered systems are being used to analyze medical images and data to detect cancer and other diseases earlier and more accurately than ever before. Education: AI is being used to personalize learning, provide real-time feedback, and help students learn at their own pace. For example, AI-powered tutors can provide personalized feedback to students on their homework and help them identify areas where they need additional help. Environment: AI is being used to monitor and protect the environment. For ex...

What is Defense-in-Depth?
Defense-in-Depth
is the method to which multiple layers of defense protect a network. These
defenses are intended to delay an attacker's attempt to further into a system
but not stop them completely. By slowing down the attacker, the IT team has
time to reacted and mitigate any damage to the network.
The idea behind Defense-in-Depth stems from a military
strategy that revolves around having a weaker perimeter defense and
intentionally yielding space to buy time. In the case of cybersecurity, the
approach here involves multiple layers of control but not give up any ground.
Here is a video that can bring a little light on to the idea
of Defense-in-Depth from Network Direction:
Below is the topology of how Defense-in-Depth would
potentially look like:
Having a setup, such as the one
above, would bring security to any business of any size. In this case, for the
image above, the layout contains firewalls that physical and virtual. Even in a
home network, the router that the ISP provides will have a firewall built-in.
The computers that occupy the network well have them also. Meaning that
defense-in-depth is already at work in a home network without the owner
realizing that it is even there. However, this does not mean that security can
be lax. On the contrary, having extra security can go a long way. Password
protection and being aware of who you let on the network are the number one
ticket to protecting what you have and defending your network with layers of
protection.

Hello, and welcome back to my blog. This week, I would like to quickly discuss the levels that go into making a security plan. These types of plans are an important tool for IT departments and Cybersecurity Administrators to design a plan that will help protect or slow down an attack on the network. Of course, security plans can vary from company to company; however, their purpose remains the same, with threats looming every day. With IT managers adjusting in response to the ever-changing threats, the created security plan must be designed to stop or slow down any attempt to breach network defenses. Below we will look at the principal components of a security plan and what they entail. Separate Networks As the name suggests, having more than one network can protect company assists from hackers and the like. The reason being is that having every computer on one network would lea...
Hello, and welcome back to my blog! This week we will be discussing the positive and negative sides of using public and private clouds. For many small businesses, turning to the cloud would seem like a daunting and challenging task. Just thinking about the many different types of Cloud services and various companies that offer them would take time to sort out what you want and how to make the change. I will cover the pros and cons of using public and private clouds in the hopes that you will come away with a little bit more knowledge on the matter than when you arrived. Of course, if you would like to know more about the different types of cloud services outside of these two, I am about to discuss, here is a link to one of my earlier postings here, Link So, let us go and dive into what these two types of cloud services are. If you have heard of companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, you may also ...
There are many challenges that a network engineer will face when creating a network for a business. Even a homeowner may wish to design their network layout in the hopes that it will connect every room in their home. But what happens when you have multiple devices on a network and more than one device in a room? This can pose a problem if the tools available are not entirely understood by the one that is designing or implementing the network. This week, I will go into what a hub, a bridge, and a switch and their differences to help those looking for the differences and assist them in making the best choice for their home and business. What is a Hub? Hubs provide a dedicated physical connection for each device that is connected to it. This can help reduce the possibility of one computer were to fail; it would not affect the other computers connected lose connectivity. The downside of a hub is that it shares bandwidth with other attached devi...
