Computers in the Workplace | Military

 Computers are essential for military personnel, especially in the IT roles like System Administration. In my 3 years with the United States Air Force, and working with computers as my job, I've seen how computers support communication, cybersecurity, and mission operations. They help manage networks, keep systems secure, and ensure everything runs smoothly. So being able to know computers and properly control digital systems is crucial for the military because everything depends on digital systems, and understanding different operating systems and networking tools helps keep military operations efficient and secure. Military personnel must know how to fix technical issues, secure networks, and protect against cyber threats. 

In the next 10 years I know that technology will continue to shape and support the military, but I also believe it is important that military personnel can do their jobs and protect US grounds without using technology. I can see the growth of more advanced hardware in the near future, like high-performance and quantum computing, this will improve data processing and security. Networking will also become more automated and secure, with cloud-based systems making operations more flexible, and of course AI will most likely play a bigger role in cybersecurity, AI systems will detect and stop treats faster and help reduce the risk of cyberattacks. That being said this all means that military IT professionals will need to keep learning and adapting. Staying up to date with the new advancements and continue to keep knowledge in older forms of IT work will be key to maintaining strong cybersecurity in the digital battlefield.

Network Security | Social Engineering & HTTPS

  Modern interconnected operations create a situation where information system security stands as an essential fundamental component. The online storage and transmission of sensitive data expose individuals and organizations to rising cyberattack threats. Information systems require secure confidentiality and integrity and availability protections because they prevent financial losses and reputational damage and privacy violations. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) defines information security as the set of processes which protect digital data against unauthorized access or modification (NIST, 2020). The attacks which take advantage of human behavior along with standard tools are equally dangerous as those that exploit technical vulnerabilities. The "ping" command serves as a primary illustration of misuse. The ping command serves network diagnostic functions, but attackers use it to execute Ping Flood and Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. Attackers lau...

Documenting a Day | Application Software

  All types of application software were developed for certain purposes in the field of data processing and presentation.   The main purpose of Word processing software, including Microsoft Word and Google Docs, is to develop, modify and arrange text documents. These applications help the user to organize the written content in a systematic way and also offer the user the ability to make the content more presentable to readers through formatting. Spreadsheet applications like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets are used in organizing numerical data, performing calculations and presenting the data in forms of charts or graphs to represent the information in a better way. Presentation software including Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides assists the user in developing multimedia slideshows that are often used in educational or professional settings.   Database applications like Microsoft Access and MySQL are used in the collection, storage, and retrieval of structured dat...
