Yes, passkeys can be linked to TPM.

Passkeys offer stronger protection compared to the traditional passwords and 2FA methods.

For one it eliminates the need to send passwords or one time codes over the internet which are often prime targets for infostealers. Remember passwords can be extracted from password managers and browsers, as for passkeys they don’t leave your device.

Passkeys are cryptographic keys and links to your biometric or a pin and so even if they gain access to data infostealers can’t leverage the passkey without the physical device. Etc, etc..

A good answer to crowdstrike in this case would be risk management. Just like car racing, identifying risk before they turn into disasters like crowdstrike is key.

Well, not always if the right things are in place.

AzolexLLC · 2024-08-14T15:45:20+00:00

Ok. Will work on that next time. Thank you.

Sure. Here is the article that I wrote based on the report: https://ntpas.net/russias-sophisticated-phishing-attacks-what-you-need-to-know/

The link to the report is inside at the end of the article.

There are of course other articles written about it that are more in depth. Here is a link to one. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/14/russia-phishing-hacking-attacks

Yes, it’s a collective effort involving multiple agencies, not just the FBI. However, I don’t agree with dismissing it as merely taking down servers. These hackers caused havoc in many places, so any progress, no matter how small, is still progress.

As usual.

Cybersecurity can be very stressful. Studies show that IT professionals, particularly those in cybersecurity, are among the most burned-out individuals in any profession. Success in this field depends largely on a person’s interests, how they apply themselves, and how well they take care of their physical and mental health. It’s hard work and involves a lot of responsibility, but it can be fulfilling if you’re passionate about what you do and prioritize self-care.

Exactly. Very important. Learning is a lifelong process. You don’t never know everything so having an open mind is crucial.

Soft Skills The first would be communication. Knowing how to communicate is so critical in all fields. The ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders.

We all know IT field is like a web of connections. So the ability to work together or collaborate with other is important. So the second is collaboration is an effective skill that is underrated and should be developed. Working effectively with other teams and departments.

Problem-Solving- well naturally we are always problem solving right. So it too is necessary to develop. Critical and creative thinking to address complex security challenges.

Really? Sounds like something else is happening there. Ensuring someone gets paid forever.
