Week 9 Cloud Computing

 

  1. Enhanced User Experience: SSO allows users to log in once and gain access to multiple applications without needing to re-enter credentials. This reduces the frustration of remembering numerous passwords and improves overall user satisfaction.
  2. Increased Productivity: Employees can focus more on their core tasks by reducing the time spent logging into different systems, increasing productivity.
  3. Improved Security: SSO centralizes authentication, making enforcing strong password policies and multi-factor authentication (MFA) easier. This reduces the risk of weak passwords and enhances overall security.
  4. Simplified Management: IT administrators can manage user access and permissions from a single platform, simplifying the process of onboarding and offboarding employees.
  5. Reduced IT Costs: With fewer password-related support requests, IT departments can save time and resources, leading to cost savings.
  6. Compliance and Auditing: SSO provides a centralized audit trail of user access, making monitoring and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements easier.

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.
