Digital identity will continue to gain ground, leading to migration to strong customer authentication solutions

 The abandonment of passwords and knowledge-based authentication will be accelerated with the adoption of strong customer authentication standards, such as FIDO (secure and fast login systems on websites and applications), now available on all major browsers and mobile devices.


Plans for electronic identity systems led by banks and the public sector (e-ID) will move forward along with trust structures and regulations to inform how the various parties can interact. The demand for solutions that help banks and merchants to verify consumer identity digitally, accelerated by Covid-19, will grow. Those who fail to manage identities effectively will become the target of fraudsters.

Fraud grew in the first phase of the US pandemic, in which fraudsters used stolen identities to cash out federal government benefits for vulnerable citizens affected by the pandemic. The potential loss could reach more than $ 26 billion across the country.


Government agencies must work to prevent further losses if new public stimuli are made available in 2021 - reviewing the processes and technologies used to verify the eligibility and distribution of benefits. Strengthening authentication capabilities to better assess whether or not people qualify for a public benefit should be a priority next year.

A Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) Database Administrator installs and maintains Microsoft SQL Server, multidimensional databases and user accounts as well as ensures database availability, recovery, and reporting. 

If agencies do not have the expertise to do this internally, they must turn to trusted payment partners. Financial institutions, payment networks and processors around the world need to prepare now to implement appropriate fraud prevention layers and strategies so that public benefits reach the real beneficiaries, not the fraudsters.

DDoS Can Mask Security Breaches

Cyber criminals launch low-threshold DDoS attacks— also known as “Dark DDoS”—because they are a cheap and easy way to infiltrate and map a network. Because the attacks are so short – typically less than five minutes in duration – they are usually not detected by security teams or traditional DDoS scrubbing solutions. Because these attacks typically require very little bandwidth to execute, they are nearly impossible to detect without an advanced in-line DDoS protection solution that has granular detection capabilities. Stop denial of service attack In cases where the IT security staff do notice a DDoS attack in progress, the attack often serves as a decoy to distract security staff while hackers stealthily find pathways and test for vulnerabilities within a network. Hackers may install malware to ex-filtrate sensitive data such as email addresses or credit card numbers or corporate intellectual property. In addition, hackers may “own” or “enslave” the network so it can later be ex

Algorithm for troubleshooting computer problems

If you encounter problems with your computer and its hardware, you must act correctly. If the problem is with the hardware, for example, the printer does not print, you should start looking for the problem from that device. First, you need to check the printer's electrical and computer connections. Perhaps this step will fix the problem. Secondly, you need to make sure that the printer is displayed and ready to use in the Device Manager on your computer. This indicates that the device is correctly installed and configured, connected to the mains. Thirdly, you need to check if the paper is jammed in the printer and if there is toner in the cartridge. If there are problems with connecting the device, paper jams or the toner in the cartridge has run out, then such problems are solved by quickly eliminating the cause of the malfunction (correcting the cable, removing the jammed paper, refilling the cartridge). If the problem is in the "Device Manager" , the computer does not

What does data science have in store for 2021?

 Data is everywhere. In an increasingly digital world, the science that brings them together and analyzes them is constantly increasing in importance. 2020 was a year that presented us with new Artificial Intelligence interfaces, the improvement of existing ones and brought up issues like LGPD and how the analysis of the information we leave on the networks is made. But what awaits us in 2021? Several factors are expected to influence the labor market.  Know more:  Managed Storage Services And one of them is on the date of arrival in the market of young native people, who already see the world with great familiarity in data analysis. As Lucy Kosturko, manager of social innovation at SAS, pointed out, these young people live in this ecosystem from the moment they eat until they go to sleep. This generation that has an understanding and tracking of data acquired in an innate way and certainly their actions will mark 2021. Faced with scenarios like this, I bring together the three trends
