How To Stay Safe In The Age Of Malware

- by Charlie Meneses

You may have heard that computers can get viruses or malware, but maybe you don’t know much more than that. It’s true: Malware is a real threat to your computer. But there are ways you can protect yourself. In this guide, we’ll walk through some basic steps for staying safe online in the age of malware.

1. Keep your software updated

The first thing you should do is make sure that your software is up-to-date. This means updating your operating system, apps, and browsers. It also means keeping your security software updated (anti-malware and antivirus), as well as updating the firmware of your router and any other devices connected to it (modems).

If you’re using an old version of Windows or macOS that doesn’t have automatic updates enabled by default–or if you’ve disabled them because they were interfering with something else on your computer–it’s important to check for updates manually …

Encryption And The Death Of Digital Privacy

- by Charlie Meneses

We live in a world where we’re constantly connected to each other and the internet. That connectivity comes at a price: our privacy. When it comes to protecting our data, there’s no silver bullet. Instead, the best defense is often a combination of different approaches – including encryption. It’s one of the most important tools we have to protect ourselves from hackers, cybercriminals and even governments that want access to everything we do online.

Cloud infrastructure has become an integral part of many businesses. It offers a number of advantages over traditional on-premise servers, and it’s not just for IT professionals anymore. Cloud infrastructure is a cost-effective way to support your business, but it also gives you the opportunity to scale up or down based on demand and usage. Maintain a consistent set of IT assets that are more easily managed and maintained by leveraging cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Microsoft Azure.

Distributed Ledger Security Primer

- by Charlie Meneses

The distributed ledger technology (DLT) that underlies cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum is a promising new technology. But as with any new system, it comes with unique security considerations—ones that have received less attention than they deserve. As with many other technologies in the past, attackers will likely start small before attempting more sophisticated attacks; this post will help you understand what these attacks might look like on a blockchain-based network and how to defend against them.

The Digital Ledger

The digital ledger is a record of all transactions that have occurred on the network. It’s distributed across many nodes, which means that no one person or entity can control it. The ledger is immutable: once information has been added to it, it cannot be changed or deleted without being noticed by other participants in the network. In addition to these features making a blockchain tamper-proof, they also make it …

Email Phishing

- by Charlie Meneses

Phishing is a way to scam users into giving up their sensitive information, usually through email spoofing. The messages look like they’re from a legitimate company, but they’re really trying to trick you into entering your password or other information at a fake website. Phishing expedites identity theft because the user has willingly entered their password on what appears to be their bank’s site.[4]

Phishing is an attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money), often for malicious reasons, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.
