SSL Cert Options

SSL Certificates

To Start off, I am going to break this post into many parts.
This will be part 1

So lately, I have been looking at different SSL Cert options that are out there for your applications and machines.

Let’s face it unless you’re a small to large business you may not see a huge investment with SSL certs.

Personally, I think  it’s a general good practice most people should adopt it for everything.
I’ve seen some people complain that adding a layer of SSL decreases server performance.

In my opinion most machines these days are fairly powerful.
Or, at least powerful enough to take on something like SSL, so I don’t see that as a very valid excuse at all.

The main reason people may not wish to make use of SSL is due to the costs, or the lack of knowledge on how to properly make use of one.

And, my hope is to find a reliable SSL Cert CA, that also is reasonably priced and affordable for the average blog poster.

I found an interesting website that actually did an analysis on this issue awhile back.

Leaked passwords

Hi Everyone,

Today’s post is related to data breaches and an interesting website idea that has turned up on the Internet.

 

So a fellow co-worker alerted me on a website that he had recently found.

 

We know breaches are taking place all the time in fact there is one taking place right this very moment.
And, in the next minute, the next hour and so forth…….

 

Many of these breaches are not disclosed and that might be because many organizations are not yet aware of being breached.
I’ve read about banks and other organizations learning years later about being breeched.
And, some organizations may never know at all depending on how sophisticated their infrastructure set-up may be.

Total average total cost of a data breach for the participating companies in 2015 was $3.79 million.

 

It looks like someone finally has come out with an interesting plan for end users.

Hello world!

Welcome To StealthBay

Hello Readers,

I thought I’d place up quick and short post about starting this new blog.

I’ve been wanting to start up a Tech. blog for awhile now along with some services that I offer.

In the past I was leaning towards just creating a blog or just a services website.
And, then I got thinking why not just do both with one website.

So you’ll see a mix of IT related services and blog posts from me.
I’ll try to concentrate on more IT Security and Cyber Security issues.

However, I do also want this to be a blog where I can share my thoughts, ideas and visions related to anything IT.

It might be new gadgets and tools that I am trying out, a certain type of software, tutorials, general IT things that might help other people and much more.

Really… I’m going to post a lot of random IT posts, so don’t mind it if they don’t always meet IT Security standards (=P)

Some things I am currently working on or plan to:
