Week 1 Post

 Hello!

I grew up in a small town in Cameroon, Africa. I started working with computers when I was 15. I fell in love with it and decided to take computer classes during high school. My interest in computer studies led me to study telecommunications at National Polytechnic Bambui in Cameroon where I got my Associates degree.

I relocated to Moscow Russia in 2011 to attend university for my BA in computer science. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control, my plans for this fell through. In 2013 I moved to the United States and have been living in northern Minnesota with my family. In the US, I started coaching soccer and started working my accreditation to become a professional soccer coach. However, I still had a passion for computer studies and I decided to do System Admin training while also coaching high school soccer.

 I graduated from Trinitech Global Consulting where I learned about being a system admin. I gained hands on experience with user management, security management, patch management, disk management, daemon management.

Here I will post information along with my thoughts about the IT world weekly.

System Hardening Week 9

  Assume Breach and Be Proactive: Traditional cybersecurity is reactive, responding to known attack methods. However, sophisticated adversaries continuously evolve their tactics to bypass security solutions. Threat hunting operates under an “assume breach” mindset. It seeks to uncover indications of attack (IOA) that haven’t been detected yet. The goal is to outthink the attacker by identifying and mitigating threats before they access sensitive data.

Week 7 Cloud Computing.

  Cloud Computing vs. Internet of Things (IoT) Cloud Computing Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services (such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics) over the internet ("the cloud"). Key characteristics include: ·          On-Demand Resources : Users can access resources as needed without physical hardware. ·          Scalability : Easily scale resources up or down based on demand. ·          Cost-Effectiveness : Pay-as-you-go pricing models reduce the need for significant upfront investments in hardware. ·          Accessibility : Access services from anywhere with an internet connection. Internet of Things (IoT) The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected devices that collect and exchange data. These devices can include anything from smart home appliances t...

  File Storage Description: Structure: Hierarchical, using directories and subdirectories. Data Organization: Files are stored with metadata like filename, timestamps, and permissions. Advantages: Familiarity: Easy for users to understand and manage, akin to traditional file systems. Ideal Use Cases: Great for storing and managing documents, media files, and shared drives. Block Storage Description: Structure: Data is divided into fixed-sized blocks. Data Organization: Each block has a unique identifier, but no metadata is attached directly. Advantages: Performance: High performance and low latency. Flexibility: The operating system can be formatted and used as required. Ideal Use Cases: Databases: Suitable for database applications. Virtual Machines: Commonly used for VM storage and high-performance applications.
