Funny story about this certification: one of the big draws of my now-alma mater's IT degree programs is that they include several well-regarded industry certifications that go a long way toward validating practical knowledge, and look good on a resume. Tuition is a flat rate per six-month term, and the costs of these certification exams–and one retake, if necessary–are covered by the university. (Up to five attempts are possible, but any attempt beyond the second comes out of the student's pocket.)

Anyway... this particular one USED TO be part of the program that I just completed. Apparently so many students were failing their first attempt–requiring the school to pay the exam org for the first retake–that they said "you know what, we're gonna make our own in-house exam for this class and if you pass that, we'll GIVE you the option of taking the certification exam (ONCE!) on us."

High-profile breaches hit Discord, SonicWall, and a US law firm, exposing user IDs and firewall configurations. AI threats increased, driving phishing, malware, and scam campaigns. Windows 10 users face end-of-life vulnerabilities. Android ClayRat spyware spreads via fake apps. SaaS and cloud services remain vulnerable to misconfigurations.

Who I Am

My name is Emmanuel Igboanusi, and I’ve always had a passion for technology, particularly in the realm of security. Outside of tech, one of my biggest hobbies is riding motorcycles, which allows me to appreciate both speed and precision. I’m currently taking a technology program because I want to dive deeper into how we can protect sensitive data and improve cybersecurity systems. Through this class, I hope to gain valuable insights that will help me become a better security professional.

Areas of Interest and Strength

I’m especially interested in cybersecurity. My focus is on protecting data, analyzing potential threats, and ensuring that confidential information is safe from unauthorized access. I find it fascinating to explore different ways to confiscate compromised data and mitigate risks before they escalate. I also enjoy hands-on experiences like working with servers, configuring networks, and ensuring they meet compliance standards. I hope to develop my skills further, especially in the areas of ethical hacking and encryption technologies.

In today’s digital landscape, securing AI applications is crucial for maintaining trust and ensuring data integrity. Here’s a comprehensive guide to the 17 essential steps for fortifying your AI application. 1. Encrypt Data Ensure that all data, both in transit and at rest, is encrypted. Use industry-standard encryption protocols like AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for data at rest and TLS…

Google Cloud vs AWS: Who Uses Them?

AWS has more expertise and implementation in the cloud sector due to it being created much earlier than the majority of cloud providers, including GCP, and this has led to greater community support. Because of this, AWS has more well-known clients, including companies like Netflix, Airbnb, Unilever, BMW, Samsung, Xiaomi, Zinga, and others.

Whereas AWS's early establishment and greater experience have helped it attract many high-profile clients, GCP has grown its clientele and user base as a result of providing the same infrastructure that Google Search, YouTube, and other Google products utilise.

This was a more than sufficient justification for numerous cutting-edge companies, like HSBC, PayPal, 20th Century Fox, Bloomberg, Domino's, and others, to choose GCP.

AWS vs Google Cloud: Security

One of the many crucial factors to take into account when selecting a cloud service provider for your company is security.

The following are the factors to consider when selecting a cloud service provider:

Controls, procedures, rules, and technology

Although Google Cloud and AWS are both known for providing cutting-edge cloud security, we have provided a detailed analysis of how the two companies protect their cloud:

Security of their cloud: The underlying infrastructure of their cloud platform includes security features that help to protect by default.

Cloud security: By using additional security services and products that are offered in their cloud platform, you may improve the protection of your apps and data.

Security anywhere: By extending security capabilities outside their cloud platform with protocols like encryption, this primarily relates to protecting your assets regardless of location.
