with the main network is far more safe than information available on all your
employees’ BYOD (Bring Your Own Devices).
Planning beforehand for various kinds of threats (such as DDoS attacks,
hackers, or just phishing emails targeting your employees), also helps you evaluate the risk each object might face in practice.
Establishing what information is more vulnerable and/or more important
helps you to define the level of security you must apply to guard it and design
your security strategies accordingly.
Use Independent Defenses
This is a military principle as much as an IT security one. Using one really
good defense, such as authentication protocols, is only good until someone violate it. When several layers of independent defenses are applied, a hacker must
use several different strategies to break through them.
Applying this type of multilayered complexity doesn’t ensure full protection against attacks, but it does decrease the chances of a successful attack.
Prepare for the Worst, Plan for the Best
Planning for failure will help to reduce its actual consequences should it
occur. Having fail safe systems in place or backup storage ahead allows the IT
department to monitor security measures and react to a violation quickly.
If the breach is not significant the business or organization can keep operating on backup while the problem is being solved.
Backup, Backup, Backup
When a security breach takes place, the event should be recorded. Sometimes the causes of violations aren’t obvious after the fact, so it’s important to
have data to track backwards. Breaches data will help to improve the system
and prevent future attacks.
Run Frequent Tests
Hackers are constantly improving their skills, therefore information security must develop to keep up. IT professionals reread the disaster recovery plan,
run tests, conduct risk assessments, check the business continuity plan in case
of attack, and then do it all over again.

The Takeaway
IT security is a challenging job that demands attention to detail at the same
time as it requires a higher-level awareness. However, like many tasks that initially seem difficult, IT security can be broken down in to basic steps that can
facilitate the process. That’s not to say it makes things easy, but it does keep IT
professionals on their toes.

Cool and Awesome Inventions You Should Know About
Inventions, mostly, change the world for good by filling up gaps between
our expectations and the available products. Since time unclocked, curiositydriven humans have invented innumerable objects that have not only helped the
humankind at that moment but also inspired many other inventions, and the
trend has been ever-growing. At present, the world witnesses millions of new
inventions every year.
Since the number is too high to comprehend, we have handpicked 10 cool
and awesome inventions that might intrigue you.
1. Starkey Livio AI – Advanced Hearing Aids
For those looking for smart hearing aids, “Starkey Livio AI” can turn out
to be a boon. The hearing aids sport compact design and fit comfortably in the
ears. They connect via Bluetooth to with accessories and certain
smartphones. But the highlight of these hearing aids is the artificial intelligence that plays a vital role in enhancing the hearing ability. By suppressing
background noise, they deliver clear sound quality. Moreover, they come with
long battery life so that users can wear them for long without needing to

2. Phree Electronic Sensor Pen
Claiming to be the world’s first unrestricted write-virtually-anywhere
electronic sensor pen, Phree is what you need to jot down your thoughts any-
time, anywhere and on almost anything. Whether it’s sketching, annotating or
simply writing, it excels in most aspects. So, how does it work? Well, it comes
with a 3D optical tracking engine that measures its motion accurately and then
sends the digital link to the connected Bluetooth device. Sounds interesting,
doesn’t it?
3. Copy & Paste
104
Ever wished to have a smart scanning and printing tool to help you go
about your business with the desired convenience? If yes, “Copy & Paste” can
be the right answer to your needs. What I like the most in this scanning and
printing tool is the ability to transfer the images and text from one source to the
other pretty fast. Not to mention, you can also use it to print directly into your
notebook, thereby eliminating the requirement for an additional paper. So, no
more expensive printer or heavy photocopier machines!
4. Ambassador Headphones Translators
This one is specifically designed for globetrotter or someone who has to
often interact with people coming from different parts of the world. Ambassador is designed to be a top a notch translation tool that excels in translating
languages. With a fully customizable setting, the translator allows you to finetune everything in line with your needs. Sporting a pretty comfy over-the-ear
design, you can comfortably wear it for long. That’s not all, it can also give
a stiff competition to Apple’s true wireless earphones in terms of fast pairing
and long battery life.

5. iMicro C – a Fingertip Microscope for Any Phone
If you’ve always wanted to have a make-shift lab of sorts in your house,
this is something you should check out. iMicro is a small layer of lenses, smaller than an average fingertip. Like most third-party zoom lenses for
smartphones, you can hook iMicro to your smartphone’s lens and enjoy looking
at the micrometer world with more precision. Designed with the comparatively
low magnification power, it boasts a much larger field of view about 5mm to
help you observe micro-objects like electronic parts, tiny insects and more. Furthermore, iMicro C comes with a long working distance of about ~4 mm and
features much larger DOF (depth of field) which makes it a great tool for both
enthusiasts and pros.
6. NANO1 – World’s Smallest Astronomy Camera
106
NANO1 is the perfect invention for passionate stargazers who not only like
to be awestruck by looking at the wonders of the sky but also want to capture
these with their cameras. The inventors of NANO1 bill it as the smallest astronomy camera in the world which can capture 25 times more light than the human
eye and condense an hour-long recording into 3 minutes for a charming view of
the sky as well as other phenomena like the Northern Lights. You can connect
NANO1 with your smartphone over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and view an augmented
reality map of constellations to appreciate the beauty of the sky.
7. SiB – The Simple Internet-Connected Button
If one has to condense what SiB does in only a few words, the best explanation would be that it simplifies your life. Short for Simple Internet-Connected
Button, SiB is a tiny cube with a programmable button that can be connected
with a host of other smart devices and sensors to perform an unimaginable large
number of functions.
Whether it is to control your smart doorbell, check temperature, detect
leakage, monitor the health of plants, or something as simple as texting your
loved one, SiB has many ways in which it can amaze you. You can assign many
tasks to the cube based on the number of times you press the button. The cube
also comes with multi-colored lights to inform you about the strength of the
Wi-Fi signal and the connected smartphones can view a variety of information
through SiB.

8. Padrone Ring – Coolest Mouse Ever
No matter how sophisticated the trackpads on our laptops get, mice are still
irreplaceable because of the high freedom of movement and speed they offer.
Padrone Ring is a small and nimble finger ring which can be used as a computer mouse. This ring mouse connects to any device over low-energy Bluetooth
and supports a variety of clicking and scrolling gestures. More importantly, it
comes in 12 different sizes and is waterproof, which means you can continue
wearing it anywhere you go without worrying about breaking it or frying the internals.
9. KEY-X – Smart Keyboard for People with Disabilities
KEY-X makes it to our list of awesome inventions because it guarantees
that dreams and aspirations cannot be bound by physical disabilities. KEY-X is
a special keyboard designed for specially-abled people and instead of using in-
108
dividual keys, has a cluster of letters around each button. The keys are soft to
touch and can be enabled with a gentle nudge although they’re engineered to
bear with rough usage.
The keyboard is as good as a normal USB keyboard and does not require
any special installation or software to couple with it. It also supports a variety
of other accessories such as a smart eye detector or a single click switch so that
those suffering from much more severe ailments like motor neuron disease can
also utilize the features of this great invention.
10. Li-Fi
Li-Fi or Light Fidelity is another network protocol that can replace conventional Wi-Fi systems. Instead of using radio waves used by Wi-Fi, Li-Fi uses
electromagnetic signals which may or may not be visible to humans, such as ultraviolet, infrared waves beside just visible light. Using LEDs which are
dimmed below human visibility, Li-Fi compatible systems offer faster and more
reliable connections than the current generation of Wi-Fi routers. The concept
of Li-Fi is not new but we expect the technology to really catch up in the coming years, and French research firm Yole Développement predicts an exponential growth starting in 2022.
