Todo o mundo You may have an idea of what each of these fields entail, but it's important to have a fundamental understanding before choosing your path. Both fields require logical thinkers and methodical minds, and they both offer a huge array of career options. But there are still some differences that set them apart from each other.
Engineering as an industry tends to focus on building and designing things out of tactile materials. Engineers draft plans to build everything from helicopters to sewer systems, from medical devices to motherboards.
Computer scientists do somewhat similar work — but in the digital realm. They wield digital technology as well as computing languages to create, improve and build software and applications.
As you can see, the line between these two worlds is very thin, and there are a few professions that straddle the intersection completely. One career is that of a computer hardware engineer. Computer engineers normally have a degree in computer science, but perform the duties of an engineer. In this case, these engineers need a knowledge of how computers work in order to build circuit boards, processors and other hardware.
Other than this overlap, computer science primarily concerns itself with the landscape of the digital world, while engineering focuses on the landscape of the physical world. Let's take a closer look at how these two fields differ in other ways. |

Todo o mundo Most incursions into computer networks occur through phishing expeditions, in which hackers send emails to staff members that contain links to malicious websites. In some cases, the links take users to websites that install malware onto local computers. In other instances, links embedded in emails directly download viruses onto computer systems.
Ransomware, spyware (snoops around computers and networks and reports information back to hackers), and software that gives hackers control of the infected computer are the common applications delivered to unsuspecting businesses by cybercriminals. Targeted "spoofing" emails involve communications sent from someone who imitates authority figures like chief executives and owners to issue orders. In the Sunrun case, the spoofer's email address looked almost identical to that of the CEO.
Spoofing emails often go directly to a business' accounting manager with a request to disburse funds to a customer's bank account. The email provides the bank account information and fund transfer details. Many unsuspecting managers have sent amounts ranging from a few thousand dollars to a few million dollars to the bank accounts of cybercriminals.
The FBI reports that more than 22,000 organizations around the world have lost more than $ 3 billion to spoofing scams over the last three years, according to the BBC. The most effective way to combat the scourge is to educate every single staff member in the company, from the owner on down, in how to spot phishing and spoofing emails. |

Todo o mundo While choosing a career in CSE or in IT, students may be in a quandary to choose between the two fields and hence arises the question - Which is better CSE or IT?
Both CS and CSE have become specialized in both the knowledge and skillset to pursue a career in the above two fields. While CSE involves in the aspects of computing from PCs, supercomputers to circuit designing and software writing; IT plays a major role in the field of communication, inventory management, data management, management information systems, and customer relationship management.
Students studying in core of CSE gain knowledge in study about design, implementation, and management of information in both hardware and software, artificial intelligence & robotics, database & information retrieval, numerical & symbolic computation while considering the core field study of IT, students study about installation, development, and implementation of computer systems and applications which includes microprocessors & interfacing, computer communication & networking, database systems, software engineering etc.
The career prospects are booming in both the fields wherein CSE, job opening for the designation of junior programmer, database administrator, data analyst, software developer and software engineer from top companies like TCS, Deloitte, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Accenture, Cognizant, Microsoft.
In the case of IT employment fields in finance, arts, defense and other areas, opportunities from leading companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, IBM. Also, there are opportunities from leading public sector firms such as BSNL, ISRO, CDIT, etc. If you have to put it, in a nutshell, the difference between IT and CSE would the hardware processes which are studied. |

Todo o mundo Threats at the junction of space and cyber security can be placed in five categories: kinetic physical, non-kinetic physical, electronic, cyber, and Earth-based. Kinetic physical threats include direct strikes against space infrastructure, either through another satellite or a weapon such as anti-satellite systems (ASATs.) Non-kinetic physical threats damage space assets through effects from a distance, such as electromagnetic pulses (EMP). Hackers could take control of such systems to launch attacks. With the rise in innovative processes, electronic and cyber threats are however more widely used.
Electronic threats include actions undertaken to damage the transmission and reception of data (jamming) or even the transmission of false data (spoofing.) Cyberattacks in this domain mostly deal with the direct injection of false data or the unauthorized monitoring of traffic or activities in outer space. Finally, Earth-based threats include the malicious acts within the supply chains of these systems or against the physical infrastructures used for transmission or storage of data. To be mitigated, all these potential threats require international cooperation, a process that for the time being seems quite stuck.
National capabilities
The United States’ space operations are advanced but vulnerable. Additionally, the United States itself has the capabilities to conduct kinetic physical, kinetic non-physical, electronic, and cyber attacks. It is, however, hard to precisely measure the capability of the United States as most information in this domain is classified. The activities of the Space Force, for example, are not actively shared. In terms of cyberattacks capacity we can however note that the National Security Agency has recently declared its willingness to use cubesats for better intelligence collection and vulnerabilities assessments. It thus appears that the United States has significant resources but keeps communication on this matter low key.
Russia possesses different space assets, notably the GLONASS navigation system. These systems give it great capability but also vulnerabilities. In terms of kinetic physical threats, Russia developed ASAT missiles and conducted a test in 2018. With regards to kinetic non-physical threats, Russia developed many laser-based systems and reportedly used one in 2011 against a Japanese satellite. It also appears that Russia has the capacity to interfere with GPS signals, most recently in the Arctic. |

Todo o mundo The IT sector is arguably one of the fastest growing industries in the world, and starting a career in this sphere is definitely a pathway to a successful life. There are huge opportunities waiting to be tapped into by discerning individuals looking to create a niche for themselves in the IT world. However, just like every other career path, there is a need to understand the rudiments and develop skills that will make you function effectively in the industry. Therefore, earning a certification is very crucial in starting you off in this career path. When talking about an IT certificate, we refer to an independent endorsement that indicates that you have the necessary skills required to perform in the task that will be committed into your hands.
Many IT positions have to do with specific technical software and procedure. Obtaining a credential in a specialized area therefore confirms to your manager that you have the clear-cut skills needed to perform optimally on the job if hired.
Getting an IT certification does not have anything to do with your academic background. This is one of the interesting things about starting a career in IT. Your academic background is not a requirement to getting a certification in Information Technology. You also do not need any prerequisite exams to qualify to enroll for the credential.
In addition, you need little or no experience or theoretical background to enroll. Studying period for the certificate is also short. There is also the least volume of study materials to deal with when preparing for your certification tests. |

Todo o mundo An IT Security Professional is someone responsible for protecting the networks, infrastructure and systems for a business or organisation.
What is IT Security?
IT Security is the information security which is applied to technology and computer systems. It focuses on protecting computers, networks, programs and data from unauthorised access or damage. IT Security can also be referred to as Cyber Security. IT Security plays a vital role within the government, military, finance companies, hospitals and many private businesses as they store a large amount of data and information on their computer systems that need to be kept secure.
What does it entail?
The main use for IT Security and the main role for an IT Security specialist is to:
Protect computer systems by creating barriers deterring external access to them
Recognise problems within systems by identifying uncharacteristic activity
Assess current situations with the network security and carry out audits
Implement improvements where needed and keep the users informed by completing performance reports on a regular basis to communicate the status of the system security.
The general working hours of an IT Security specialist will be the normal 37 or 40 hours a week. However, you will likely have the responsibility of being on call 24/7 in case of any security breaches. You will need to be aware of this. |

Todo o mundo The recent surge in Work-From-Home, triggered by the COVID-19 crisis, is here to stay and the first sign of it is that "WFH" has been added to the alphabet soup of jargons crowding the technology industry. WFH, however, has also created a fresh set of challenges for organizations to protect their intellectual assets from cyberattacks.
It’s a no-brainer to say that our home networks are far more vulnerable than enterprise networks. Companies are leveraging this crisis to meet immediate needs as well as for building more lasting, longer-term access to a variety of resources in the cloud as well as in the enterprise data center.
As the world logs on to enterprise networks from home, the demand for more secure remote access for employees is at an all-time high. Organizations must prepare for possible cyberattacks on our home IT networks to exploit its vulnerabilities.
They need to monitor IT use for signs of malicious behaviour, safeguard sensitive data and assure maximum compliance with privacy and regulatory requirements. Also, the extensive use of cloud services necessitated by the COVID-19 crisis, both on-premise and public, will compel enterprises to reassess this ecosystem and take additional steps to protect it. |

Todo o mundo When you're buying RGB components, you're bound to run into these terms sooner or later. Not only are they functionally different but they are visually quite distinct too. This makes understanding the distinctions between them quite critical. RGB or ARGB headers are used to connect RGB LED strips and other RGB accessories to your PC.
However, an RGB header (usually a 12V 4-pin connector) can only control colors on a strip in a limited number of ways. For example, multiple colors on different parts of the strip aren't possible – severely limiting the lighting choices at your disposal.
Here's where ARGB headers come into the picture. An ARGB, or Addressable RGB, header (usually a 5V 3-pin connector) is equipped with an IC (Integrated Circuit, also sometimes referred to as a microchip) to provide much better flexibility with regards to lighting options.
It allows you to enjoy a plethora of lighting effects including, but not limited to, multiple colors on a single LED strip, multiple color changing patterns on a same strip or in sync with other strips connected to ARGB headers. |
