Now even your kid can understand why #MultiFactorAuthentication is so important. It turns out this classic fairy tale teaches about it. But don't take my word for it. Just read this short story right now.

A bunch of hackers can bring havoc and terror to the entire country. And now it turns out that the US government operates using computers and software that has not been updated for years.

Cryptography Secrets That Still Hold Up Despite Being 136 Years Old
dacybersecurity.com
February 02, 2020
“A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system (except the key) is public knowledge.”
Well said.
But what’s really interesting is WHEN it was said.
The author of these words is Auguste Kerckhoffs.
He is the Netherlands born cryptographer from the 19th century.
Auguste Kerckhoffs wrote two articles for the “La Cryptographie Militaire” journal in 1883. What amazes me, his principles for military-grade ciphers are relevant to this day.

Books vs. Movies Debate Highlights Who Is More Likely To Get HACKED
Donald Allen via LinkedIn
December 02, 2019
I like the saying "don’t judge a book by its movie."
It’s ridiculous, yet it highlights that many of us make this mistake.
I’m not trying to say that books break movies over the knee just like that, no. I totally understand the vocal part that would rather watch something in the cinema. Heck, it’s not even appropriate to compare the two, because as Stephen King once said, they are like apples and oranges.
While I enjoy both, I consider myself a book guy, and you’ll find out why by the end of this post.
But let me play the role of the movie’s advocate for a moment.
The Soapy Nature of Email: How To Make Cyber Hygiene Somewhat Interesting
LinkedIn
November 22, 2019
Statistics about people not washing their hands is almost as disturbing as statistics about the scope of email threats.
1 in 5 people don’t wash their hands, and 3 of them are liars.
Ok, I’m kidding, but every joke has a little joke in it, the rest is true.

What’s Wrong With Simulated Phishing And Why You Need To Try Something New

Cybersecurity awareness training.
Yawn…
Three words that work better than a pack of sleeping pills.
Pills and cybersecurity awareness training actually have a lot in common. Lots of long words, hiding symptoms for a little bit, and in some cases even causing side effects.
Yet there’s one thing that they don’t have in common...

Cyber Monsters That Live All Year Long

I would like to run with an idea I got during one watercooler conversation:
How To Explain Popular Email Threats Using Images Of Halloween Monsters
It’s not that serious, but it’s good for establishing an association for an average user.
I searched the Internet for some ideas, and here’s what I got in the end. I used some of the Most Overused Attacks on Email and combined them with their monster counterparts.

Email Pennywise:
What Horror Movie “IT” Can Teach Us About Cybersecurity
IT is scary. Both the movie and information technology.
I can see a lot of similarities between both things, actually, and I thought I would share something with you on the eve of Halloween. Here’s a quasi movie scene review, with a pinch of security advice and some uncanny parallel drawing...
