The Evolution Of A Technical Information Security Professional

Basically there seems to be 4 key levels that I consider to be different milestones or “levels of understanding” as related to this field. I originally heard a concept like this many years ago as it relates to music.

The Pandora S Box Of Cyber Warfare

The Pentagon was actually in the middle of the pack when it merged the JTF-GNO and 24th Air Force with other DoD components to form US Cyber Command at the turn of the fiscal year on October 1, 2010, after Russia, Israel, Iran, and North Korea had already formed similar commands in their militaries. In June 2011, the Pentagon released details of its cyber warfare strategy, which cited that it considered cyber an operational domain – akin to sea, air, land, and space as a place where war is fought and where defensive and offensive posturing and operations are required....

There was hardly any mention of Vivo, the brand which is the undisputed number three in the Indian smartphone market....

The Metaverse S Biggest Unknown Where We Go From Here

I think about that with the metaverse. The idea of a new immersive interactive platform for worldwide communication, most visibly brought back into life by Meta (aka Facebook), already looks like it’s headed for trouble. Waves of tech layoffs, including thousands at Meta, create a sense that the dream may already be over. This happened with the internet before: the first dot com bubble, for instance. Some ideas died, others survived, and new ones came afterwards that no one predicted....

Catastrophe is too big a word to be used, specially in technical terms. But that’s the word which came to my mind after seeing the latest happenings surrounding the iPhone 4S launch in India.
