The phrase, “time to face the music” started appearing in American literature and verbiage in the mid-19th century. The origin of this phrase is unclear, but there are two good possibilities. The first likely origin came from the tradition of a disgraced military officer being drummed out of their regiment. The second theory is that it’s referring to the moment before an actor would go on stage and face the orchestra pit.
Just using Private Keys is no longer the norm in cryptography today – using a combination of both Public and Private Keys is, and it’s known as “Asymmetric Cryptography.” A type of Asymmetric Cryptography that is deployed widely today is known as the “Public Key Infrastructure,” or PKI for short.
As discussed in a previous blog post, cryptography is the science of scrambling and unscrambling a message while it is in transit. The primary purpose of this is to keep the message content safe, in case it is intercepted by a malicious third party.
For many, a college education is a goal never to be realized. For others, the college education is achieved, but their potential isn’t fully unlocked. When someone graduates from college, are they really prepared for the workforce?

A recent blog post reviewed what Ransomware is, how it is deployed, and the types of attacks that can occur. Essentially, it is a type of cyber-attack that can lock up your computer screen, your mission critical files, and the data that your company depends on daily.
The curvature at the edge of a London Underground platform, and the shape of the underground trains, leave a significant gap that could prove dangerous for passengers. For years, drivers and station attendants had the job of making sure passengers watched out for that space, or gap.
In today’s world, Cyber-attacks are becoming the norm – no business or corporation is immune to them. It seems that no matter what an entity does to fortify its defense perimeters, the hacker will find a way to circumvent it and inflict as much damage as possible. There are no geographical or industrial constraints, anything is fair game.
In today’s world, Cyber-attacks are becoming much more covert and sophisticated in nature. Gone are the days when an attacker was content with simply deploying a Trojan Horse virus to secretly see what is going on in your computer. They are now bent on a destruction of the end user’s machine, and even launching Botnet style attacks in order to infect and destroy thousands of other computers in the process.
One of the hottest certs in Information Technology is the Cybersecurity Analyst, also known as the *CySA+.
What makes the CySA+ cert unique is that it is not generalist; rather it focuses on the analysis of threat data. For example, IT professionals who aspire to get this cert typically must perform at least three major tasks in their job-related duties.
