Endpoint security management


Endpoint security management is a policy-based approach to network security that requires endpoint devices to comply with specific criteria before they are granted access to network resources. Endpoints can include PCs, laptops, smartphones and tablets, as well as wearables and specialized equipment such as bar code readers, intelligent sensors and point of sale (POS) terminals.
Each endpoint in an organization provides multiple attack vectors against the organization's systems, networks and data. Although the perimeter firewall and end-user awareness training remain an important part of defense-in-depth security, the bulk of an organization's security efforts should focus on network endpoint security controls.
The business benefits of endpoint security management include decreasing the number of data breaches and other incidents, easing the deployment of new security technologies, reducing costs and blocking unwanted activity.

Endpoint security management software

Endpoint security management systems, which can be purchased as software or as a dedicated appliance, discover, manage and control computing devices that request access to the corporate network. Endpoint security systems work on a client/server model in which a centrally managed server or gateway hosts the security program and an accompanying client program is installed on each network device. In a software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivery model, the host server and its security programs are maintained remotely by the vendor.
In either delivery model, when a client attempts to log onto the network, the server program validates user credentials. Required elements may include an approved operating system, a VPN client and anti-virus software with current updates. Devices that do not comply with policy are given limited access or quarantined on a virtual LAN (VLAN). Endpoints that do not comply with policy can be controlled by the system to varying degrees. For example, the system may remove local administrative rights or restrict Internet browsing capabilities.

Understanding the Evolution: AI, ML, Deep Learning, and Gen AI

In the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), one of the most intriguing advancements is the emergence of General AI (Gen AI). To grasp its significance, it's essential to first distinguish between these interconnected but distinct technologies. AI, ML, and Deep Learning: The Building Blocks Artificial Intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. Machine Learning, a subset of AI, empowers machines to learn from data and improve over time without explicit programming. Deep Learning, a specialized subset of ML, involves neural networks with many layers (hence "deep"), capable of learning intricate patterns from vast amounts of data. Enter General AI (Gen AI): Unraveling the Next Frontier Unlike traditional AI systems that excel in specific tasks (narrow AI), General AI aims to replicate human cognitive abilities across various domains.

Normalization of Database

Database Normalisation is a technique of organizing the data in the database. Normalization is a systematic approach of decomposing tables to eliminate data redundancy and undesirable characteristics like Insertion, Update and Deletion Anamolies. It is a multi-step process that puts data into tabular form by removing duplicated data from the relation tables. Normalization is used for mainly two purpose, Eliminating reduntant(useless) data. Ensuring data dependencies make sense i.e data is logically stored. Problem Without Normalization Without Normalization, it becomes difficult to handle and update the database, without facing data loss. Insertion, Updation and Deletion Anamolies are very frequent if Database is not Normalized. To understand these anomalies let us take an example of  Student  table.

How to deal with a toxic working environment

Handling a toxic working environment can be challenging, but there are steps you can take to address the situation and improve your experience at work: Recognize the Signs : Identify the specific behaviors or situations that contribute to the toxicity in your workplace. This could include bullying, harassment, micromanagement, negativity, or lack of support from management. Maintain Boundaries : Set boundaries to protect your mental and emotional well-being. This may involve limiting interactions with toxic individuals, avoiding gossip or negative conversations, and prioritizing self-care outside of work. Seek Support : Reach out to trusted colleagues, friends, or family members for support and advice. Sharing your experiences with others can help you feel less isolated and provide perspective on the situation. Document Incidents : Keep a record of any incidents or behaviors that contribute to the toxic environment, including dates, times, and specific details. This documentation may b...
