Week 9 post

 “Big Data" collects all aspects of your personal interactions on websites, mobile devices, and even IoT.

 I have personally had experience where my personal information was collected on websites or mobile phones. Sometimes when I am having a conversation about an item I want, and the think I see on my phone an ad of that same item pops up. If I search for an item on amazon I receive an ad via email of the same item from eBay, and sometimes Intergram displays an ad of the same item. 

You never know what information they collect, and they collect your personal information, personally I think they should not be allowed to collect the information they collect from users. Some applications track and store your locations and your browsing behavior or history, and you do not know who they share it with or how they handle the information. If it is possible to stop this, I want to say something should be done to limit the amount of information they collect, how they collect and how they use it. Let me know your thoughts.

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...

week 10 Cloud Computing.

  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.
