Week 5 - BSIT380-T303 System Hardening and Network R - List general principles for secure software development.

    Secure software development starts with incorporating security into the design process. Principles such as least privilege, where users and systems are given only the minimum necessary access, help limit the impact of potential breaches. Ensuring input validation, regular code reviews, and strong error handling can mitigate common attack vectors like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and information leakage. Additionally, authentication and authorization controls, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), are vital in safeguarding sensitive data and system functions. Encryption is another critical component, as it protects data both in transit and at rest from unauthorized access. Regular patch management is essential for keeping third-party libraries and software up to date, addressing known vulnerabilities. By following these core principles, developers can build secure applications that reduce risks and better protect users and their data from evolving cyber threats.

Week 3 Posting - RAM Making Your Everyday Tasks Easier

          Random Access Memory is your computer’s short-term memory, unlike the long-term memory with a hard drive or SSD, RAM stores date temporality while your computer is running. When you open an application or a file, your computer loads it into RAM for quick access. This allows your computer to do tasks faster because accessing data from the RAM is much quicker than fetching it from storage. The more RAM you have the more applications and data your computer can handle without slowing down. RAM is good for multitasking, gaming, video editing, and resource-intensive tasks. In conclusion, RAM is kind of the unsung hero of your computer, enabling it to handle tasks swiftly and efficiently. Understanding its significance can help you make informed decisions about upgrading your system’s memory for a better computer experience.

Next up go through the programs you are not using anymore, and fully install and delete those. Another good way of cleaning up your PC is clearing the temp files, or temporary files, these can be found by searching the C: drive. Up next you want to run any updates you need; this will boost your performance and make run things smoothly. Then you can put your data back on you computer and organize it to your liking. There are many ways to clean up your PC this is just a process I run...

Week 1 - BSIT220-T301 Network Mgmt & Infrastructure

                  This is my 2 nd blog I have done, and my 13 th blog post I have ever done, did one a week in my previous class here at Bellevue. I would say I have some knowledge about the Network+ and Network models from my previous college. At Southeast Tech we got to work on all sorts of network equipment and troubleshoot it as well. We worked on servers, routers, switches, access points, and more. We got to build networks on server racks and ping and use all sorts of commands, so I have a nice background with information, and I am excited to learn more about that as well as the Network+ certification and what it takes to get that.
