Secure with Rich

  Hi everyone, Welcome back to another edition of Secure with Rich! Today I wanted to talk about the importance of Flow analysis software. The flow analysis method is to monitor network traffic for any abnormal traffic flow. For example, if traffic within 4 pm never spikes, but for some reason, it spikes next week. It is essential to evaluate why, as it could be an attempt to breach or a cyber attack. In reality, it's easier said than done, software tools would be recommended to ensure monitoring is happening at all times. There are various tools available that offer load features that can help make sure monitoring is being conducted. For example, ExtraHop has machine learning that enables the software to identify and remediate if appropriately configured. While there are loads of tools available, I would recommend solely automation and AI.

 Hi everyone, Welcome back to another installment of Secure with Rich! Today I want to talk about HSMs. Hardware Security Modules are devices that are used to generate keys for access. For example, these devices are external devices that need to be connected to a laptop to access the computer. HSMs are a great tool to adopt because they are secured and cannot be tampered with. Below is an example of a removable device that one can use.         While they can be expensive, the benefit is that they add an extra layer of security that prevents accounts and devices from being compromised. There are also cloud-based solutions that utilize servers to accomplish the same. If you have devices or files you want to keep, say, maybe adopting a HSMs could provide some peace of mind.

  Hello everyone! I want to welcome you all back to another week of learning! SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) is a protocol that focuses on having computer systems talk to one another. It uses software components as services to create business applications. This allows organizations to run faster and more efficiently, which results in less maintenance. SOA is also reusable, which makes it developer friendly by not having to start from scratch. A single code can be created and used multiple times without creating or rewriting code for various business processes. An example of this could be business processes within an organization that require the use of authentication functionally.
