Introduction In this final part of our series on situational awareness and intrusion detection, we will explore benchmarking strategies, reducing false positives, and achieving situational awareness in cybersecurity. We will also discuss what makes a good security analyst and why…

Introduction In the first part of this series, we introduced Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), including their types and functions. In this second part, we will explore detection mechanisms in IDS/IPS and methods for measuring their…

Introduction In modern cybersecurity, preventative security measures such as authentication, access control, and security policies aim to protect systems from attacks. However, when an attack bypasses these defenses, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS and IPS) become critical for identifying…

Cryptography plays a critical role in securing federal systems, sensitive data, and communication channels. To ensure uniform security, government agencies must adhere to strict cryptographic standards set by organizations like NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and OWASP (Open…

Cryptography is essential for securing modern digital communications, protecting sensitive data, and ensuring user authentication. However, poor implementation of cryptographic techniques can introduce severe vulnerabilities, making even the strongest encryption algorithms ineffective. This guide explores common pitfalls in cryptographic implementation,…
