Week 4_NKMgmt

Solid core and stranded core cables are types of UTP cables, with solid core UTP each wire uses a single solid wire while with stranded core each wire is a bundle of tinny wire strands. Solid core is a better conductor but will break if handled too often or too roughly because it is stiff.

A stranded core is not quite a good conductor, but it will not break if handled roughly or too often. They are made using a collection of thin wires that are bound together to function as a single line. It is more expensive to make, and they are ideal for cramped spaces and areas like vibrating machinery.

The stranded cable also has higher attenuation which makes it better for short-distance runs and it is vulnerable to electrical interference because it has multiple wires instead of a single line. I think solid is more common than stranded because it is less expensive.

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...

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.
