20 Oct Quantum Cybersecurity: IBM Quantum Safe Technology
Quantum computing has been an idea for a while, and has recently been making steady advancements in the past 10 years. The first people who proposed the idea were Richard Feynman and Yuri Manin in 1980 (Microsoft, 2023). Since then, companies like IBM have taken interest in it. There is a point now in the world where there are physical quantum computers that are functional. With the advancement and realization of the quantum computer, IBM is taking a special interest in cybersecurity. Cybersecurity will need to evolve alongside the quantum computer. As we usher in the age of quantum computing, there needs to be a system in place to combat quantum cyber attacks. Enter IBM’s Quantum Safe Technology. “Governments and enterprises are rushing to form a quantum-safe strategy to protect critical data from quantum attack. Today, our IBM Quantum Safe roadmap helps organizations navigate this complex landscape by equipping them to track their quantum-safe milestones and achieve them using IBM technology, services, and infrastructure” (IBM, 2023). IBM has a roadmap specifically for cybersecurity. Here is what it looks like: (IBM, 2023). IBM is not the only one in the quantum market race. Many other companies are starting to dedicate research and development into quantum computers. Companies like D Wave, Intel, Microsoft, Alibaba, Bidu, and Google are investing into a quantum future as well. Having cybersecurity issues?

31 Oct Quickly Become A Google Fu Master… Here’s How
Quickly Become A Google Fu Master Kids are quickly becoming Google fu masters. They’ve become experts at quickly locating information online using search engines. That’s Google Fu, the ability to use search engines to whip up answers and research faster than a contestant on a radio quiz. No matter what age, you too can become a Google Fu Master. Level 1 Mastery: Tell It What You Need Google is smart and can understand “conversational searches”. Let’s say you came across a great recipe online, but the measurements were imperial. Google has you covered. Simply tell it what you want to convert, and what into. [number] [unit] into [unit] Enter “6 ounces into cups”…and hit enter. Google presents the answer, already calculated – AND it includes a handy drop down to change those measurements for your next ingredient. Release dates: [movie/game] release date Fast facts: [name of person] deathDurable – No moving parts to wear out Stats: [city] population Level 2 Mastery: Limiting Result Type With one additional click, you can tell Google that you only want images. Or videos. Or News, maps, shopping, books or apps. Your initial results are presented as a combination of all types – you can see the ALL tab highlighted up the top. Just click the tab to indicate which result type you’re looking for. Level 3 Mastery: Using Drop Downs. One of the most popular Google Fu moves is to limit results to sites from a particular country. This is great for locating bargains or local businesses. Click SEARCH TOOLS to drop down a second menu. You’ll see the option to limit Country and even Time. 2 extra clicks and my search is now limited to my home country and items from the past 7 days only. Level 3 Mastery: Using Operators. Your final level of mastery, often used as a last resort when you’re just beginning to doubt whether the internet has the answer you’re seeking. Finally, enclosing your search terms in “quotation marks” binds the term together so Google can’t break it up. E.G. “Project Management” Your Google Fu will soon be very strong.
