Microsoft has released new security updates

 Microsoft has released a new series of updates for September that address different versions of the Windows operating system and related software. Updates for detected vulnerabilities are available for bugs affecting Microsoft Windows, the Edge browser, Internet Explorer, ChakraCore, SQL Server, Exchange Server, Office, ASP.NET, OneDrive, Azure DevOps, Visual Studio, and Microsoft Dynamics. A total of 129 vulnerabilities have been fixed, of which 23 are classified as critical and 105 are significant and one is of moderate severity. Of these, CVE-2020-16875 is a remote code execution (RCE) error in the Microsoft Exchange server caused by incorrect validation of "cmdlet" arguments. Successfully exploited, this could allow malicious people to run arbitrary code in the context of the system user, this being done by compromising a user logged in with certain privileges in Microsoft Exchange, thus allowing the attacker to view, modify, delete data or to create new accounts.

Increasing number of threats and threat actors

 Nation-state actors and other sophisticated players have shown a greater willingness to target infrastructure providers within their broader campaigns4 . In addition, cyber criminals target utilities and other key infrastructure players to make a profit. A striking example occurred in Puerto Rico. Cyberattacks on smart meters belonging to a Puerto Rican electric company caused it a loss of revenue of up to $ 400 million5 . As Latin American energy companies expand their deployment of smart meters, threats like these need to be minimized. The focus of these attacks is no longer limited to IT networks; a government agency recently warned of a ransomware case aimed at undermining the visibility of gas pipeline operations by a gas company, leading to lost productivity and revenue until the ransomware was removed6 .

What is a company's IT infrastructure?

 The IT infrastructure includes all the necessary resources to guarantee the execution of the IT processes. When planning it, you should consider hardware, software and applications, operating systems, data management and storage, communication and network platforms, integrated services and internet platforms. In order for operations and processes to take place efficiently, with standard and continuity, it is also necessary to consider the documentation and human resources necessary to meet the demands of the company. In this way, your company starts to rely not only on isolated elements of technology. A planned and strategic infrastructure adds agility, security and trust to the business processes.

What does a Network Engineer do?

 A network engineer is responsible for keeping the network hardware and software running smoothly. These data networks can be local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN), intranets and / or extranets. Let's take a closer look at the work of the network, systems and telecommunications engineer. What is network administration? The administration of computer and communications networks consists of managing and ensuring the correct functioning of computer networks. What the network engineer looks for above all is a network free from failures and errors. For this, they have tools and technologies. The biggest challenge is being able to proactively identify failures , before they affect customers or end users. Creating a subnet allows you to limit the number of routers that network traffic has to pass through. An engineer will effectively create smaller mini-routes within a larger network to allow traffic to travel the shortest distance possible. This network specialist focuses

Modernizing fraud management

 Improving fraud management and the user experience is an ongoing and integral part of the digital transformation and modernization initiatives that have been underway in banks in recent years. According to the recent Gartner Hype Cycle for IAM Technologies , “Digital transformation has become a significant motivator for many organizations.” In addition, the 2019 Gartner CEO and Senior Executive Survey found that “82% of CEOs have a digital transformation or management initiative, compared to 62% in 2018”. The key to modernizing fraud management and the user experience is having the right tools and structures. Leveraging modern platform technologies makes it easy to adapt to new user requirements and fraudulent activities. Equally important is a modern authentication control framework - as an organization that authenticates and protects consumers in a non-face-to-face interaction, such as online (in a browser and mobile devices). A data center technician should answer questions and ta

Problems with the time in Windows? Different ways to fix it

The Windows clock is one of the most basic features of the operating system, one of the ones that has been around the longest, and also one of the most useful. Thanks to it, we can check the time with a simple glance at the bottom right of the screen, or by adding a clock widget to the start menu . However, a problem with the clock on our computer can be the most annoying, in addition to causing all kinds of problems with the PC. Causes and problems of having a bad time in Windows Having the wrong time in our operating system can be much more annoying than simply seeing that the hour or minutes that appear on the clock do not match reality. There are many programs in Windows that, if we have the wrong time on the computer, will not open directly. The same is true, for example, with many web pages. The HTTPS protocol uses the date as part of the synchronization and, therefore, if we have it wrong, many websites will not load directly, returning a certificate error. This applies equally
