Types of cyber security threats

 With so many types of attacks that hackers can carry out, business owners should at least take note of certain key tangents. Regardless of their primary purpose, any of these methods can cause damage to your business in ways that could take longer to disclose, if necessary. Advanced Persistent Threats (APT)  These long-term targeted attacks are mainly intended to steal, spy or disrupt. Network intrusion can be carried out secretly and in different stages. Once access is gained, attackers can't even do anything for long periods of time - waiting for strategic moments to hit. Notable APT attacks in the past: GhostNet , Titan Rain Distributed service denial (DDoS)  DDoS attacks are intended to disrupt the operations of a network or website by flooding it with requests and information. When the server can no longer cope with the flood, the services will start to fail and eventually shut down. Notable DDoS attacks: Github , Spamhaus , American banks Phishing Phishing is a very common t

What does a test analyst do?

 The test analyst, or tester, is the protagonist of the Quality Assurance (QA) process, or quality assurance. This stage of product development aims to deliver to the customer within a satisfactory quality standard. Depending on the organization, however, the quality analyst may be a second character in the process, who works in conjunction with the test analyst. The difference between these two professionals is the focus of the work. The quality analyst assesses the development process, validating the steps, but not the product itself. The test analyst, however, validates the product, its performance and results. Although we speak of “process” as if it were one, in fact, the test analyst draws up different plans to ensure that the conditions of the delivered product are in line with the expectations of the company and the customers. Test analyst responsibilities Although it seems like a simple task, the tester needs to go deeper in the analysis to evaluate different aspects of the pro

Natural Language Processing (PLN)

 Natural Language Processing (PLN) is an aspect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that helps computers process and manipulate human language. The purpose of PLN is to serve as a bridge between the way humans communicate and understanding machines.   As much as the current applications of PLN suggest that it is a new technology, studies began in the 40s, through the creation of Machine Translation , which intended to differentiate languages ​​and adapt the syntax. In the following decade, Noam Chomsky published a theory on the generative capacity of languages ​​that brought computational and linguistic studies together.   Now that we’ve answered the question of what is SOW , it’s time to discuss the objective. The objective, or scope statement, clearly identifies the project’s objective and purpose.  From then on and until the mid-90s, studies aimed to adapt systems that perform tasks guided by dialogues, solve problems and deal with linguistic ambiguities.   For us, who are used to using

Anatomy of a mobile fraud attack

As COVID-19 continued to change consumer behavior, general cases of fraud remained on the rise. Global workforces quickly turned to remote work to maintain business continuity, which made employees dependent on vulnerable devices and less secure personal networks to fulfill their work obligations and put sensitive data at risk of being compromised more easily.  Identity theft was increasing, as were phishing attacks, application and invoice fraud, and social engineering attacks. Last year alone, account takeover fraud increased 34% compared to 2019, representing a whopping 54% of all fraud-related events in 2020, according to a recent report .

  Over the years and as the Internet has entered our lives,  web browsers  have gained in importance.  So much so that at the moment we use them both on the desktop PC and on the mobile, in addition to being one of the first we run when we turn them on.  What's more, on many occasions we have several browsers installed on the same computer, which is useful for some things. It must be recognized that in these times and largely due to its enormous importance, we have a lot to choose from in this regard.  What we mean by this is that we have at our fingertips a multitude of  programs  of this type, most of them, free.  On the other hand we see that the differences between these browsers are sometimes almost non-existent, while others are obvious.  This allows us to choose the proposal of this type that best suits our needs based on what we prefer to prioritize. Sometimes it can be security, in others privacy, resource consumption,  web loading  speed  , etc.  With everything and with
