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 12.

  Network automation offers several compelling benefits, and its impact on IT professionals is significant. Below are some advantages.   Benefits of Network Automation: It eliminates manual tasks by automating network processes. This boosts IT productivity, allowing professionals to focus on strategic initiatives that drive business growth. Network automation enables faster provisioning of critical data services, optimizes network performance, and speeds up the rollout of new services and applications. Previously infrequent network changes have become more frequent due to automation, reducing manual adjustments' time-consuming and resource-intensive nature. It helps build a reliable network for an infrastructure-as-code approach that consistently maintains network state and configuration, enhancing reliability from data centers to edge location...

  Most recent Cybersecurity attacks: 2022     British Council data breach   The British Council, which provides English language courses to students worldwide, experienced a third-party data breach revealing more than 10,000 records. Researchers discovered an unprotected Microsoft Azure blob repository and reported the incident on the 5th of December 2021.       The blob container (a group of data held in the cloud) was indexed by a public search engine. Clario Tech reported in a Mackeeper blog that the blob contained at least 144k xls , xlsx, xml, and Json files.       The datasets held students’ personal data worldwide, including student IDs, full names, study duration, email addresses, and enrolment dates.       Any student or individual that may have been affected by the data breach should change their password straight away. They should also watch out for suspicious-looking emails and links.   The NHS Trus...

System hardening and networking week 5

  A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logical network that groups devices based on their functionality, location, or security requirements. Here are some advantages of VLANs: Advantages: Improved network performance: VLANs can reduce congestion by segmenting the network into smaller broadcast domains. This reduces the amount of traffic that needs to be processed by each device, leading to faster network speeds. Enhanced network security: VLANs can isolate sensitive data and restrict access to it. This helps prevent unauthorized access to confidential information and reduces the risk of data breaches. Simplified network management: VLANs can simplify network management by allowing administrators to manage groups of devices as a single entity. This reduces the complexity of network management and makes it easier to troubleshoot network issues. Flexibility: VLANs can be easily reconfigured to meet changi...
