Tech Today

  What is ethical  hacking ? To better understand this reality, we must also mention the rest of  hackers  , because within  cyber security  there are three kinds of hackers:  black, gray or white hat  . The  former  hack for  reasons of selfishness  , such as stealing money, revenge, or to cause some harm. White  hat hackers  are those who would fall into the field of  improving security  . They look for holes in it and inform victims so that they are aware that their most relevant data is in the hands of a less scrupulous  hacker .  And the  gray hat pirates they are located in the middle, carrying out  operations that may be morally questionable  . For example, hacking ideologically opposed groups or to launch protests from other  hackers  . This would be the antagonism of ethical  hacking .  Those who practice  cyber encryption  in a more moral way are people who belong to companies or institutional groups, seeking to make their data more secure. In fact, the value here is that eth

  There is an old saying that still rings true: there are those who have had a data breach, and there are others who still do not know it.  The year 2017 was one of the busiest for hackers, with a large number of data breaches every week.  Some of the largest breaches compromised the personal information of US voters and exposed the social security numbers of more than 100 million Americans. Most organizations today employ perimeter security systems, data encryption, strict policies, and employee education to prevent data theft and fraud.  These are necessary measures, but they are not enough.  It is crucial to employ strict policies and controls to provide maximum  database security   . Here are five steps that can help protect your database: Make sure you comply with the necessary regulations Regulations and laws have strict rules for data security.  By ensuring compliance, you are already one step ahead when it comes to data protection.  The United States has about 20 national indus

Virality in many cases is a matter of luck, but a UC Berkeley study found some factors that help positive content go viral. In previous articles we have drawn attention to the fact that our brain seems to be predisposed to share negative news. Several authors and analysts in the field of neuroscience have commented on the idea that this emphasis that we usually place on negative publications may respond to evolutionary reasons. But interesting research points to possible reasons that make positive content go viral on the same level, if not more forcefully, than negative content. Why do we like to share motivational quotes, inspirational videos, and heartwarming posts? Understanding virality on the internet The concept of "viral" comes from medical jargon and is an analogy that arises from comparing popular content with the way in which diseases are spread.  But in the case of content, the medium is social media. The content of those viral videos varies a lot, and they can be
