A techie’s morning

In a brief moment, I look awestruck. Something shook the walls of my tender sleep. I’m awake.

I reach out from below the sheets and stretch one arm. It’s morning again, another one in the calendar. Where’s my phone? Just a arms-stretch away. Quickly I glance at the clock, it’s a quarter past 5, early enough for today. Remembering I slept almost at dawn, at least I’m happy I deserve a few more minutes in bed. I say a prayer and turn on my phone Wi-Fi.

Email check, none. How so, it was just busy here yesterday? Well, maybe they haven’t woken up yet, I’ll re-check later. I open Titan too. It’s where I have all the emails of my domains. I confirm it’s just several guys wanting to do SEO for me. I’m tempted to tell them I’m also a master at this. I restrain from it. Maybe some other time.

I open Telegram. It’s where some really cool tech channels I follow are at. I read how Biden wants his government to get to zero Carbon emissions. Alexa.com is going to be retired, I will not miss this one. Lot’s of climate change news are on this one, on to the next. This Reddit user says their Pixel phone had a bug that prevented them making a 911 call, interesting read. This blog post tells you how to run a social network for your friends. WhatsApp launches crypto payments in USA, pilot project. This will be attacked, I’m almost sure. Elizabeth Holmes is still trending, uurgh, this lady. A quick skimming on the remaining posts I see Instagram and Motorola mentioned somewhere.

I then check some groups where techies just ask questions and some banter now and then. Nothing much is happening here. Just some few geeks arguing whether Elon Musk’s is a real rocket scientist. You don’t want to see this one (laughs).

The last channel for today is my memes channel. What does my meme plug has today. A banter towards Italians and pizzas, a few more, then a few, oh, I need to move on. Then I close the app.

Off to reply a few WhatsApp messages, check my groups, view some status posts, reply on a few and close the app.

There are no reddit notifications. I’ve fallen in love with the app in the last few months. I won last night’s chess match against a random stranger on Chess.com app. My expertise level is growing. Time to get up.

I pull the thick sheet off, let out a wicked yawn and drag my frame out of the bed, fumble for my flops and head out. Passing by my laptop, I turn it on. There is this android app that’s bugging me and a PhP project that’s pending.

I take a glass and half of water. There’s no explanation why I cannot finish the second glass. I prepare a cup of ginger tea, set myself on the couch and let out another yawn. I don’t have bacon or sausages. Why? Oh, I’m not white (chuckles).

It’s a good feeling once again. My day has just began.

Merry Christmas!!

The Myth of Perfect Security

Perfect security is a myth, and focusing on resilience rather than prevention can better protect your organization from inevitable breaches.

Why Traditional Passwords Are Failing Us

Password fatigue from complex rules often causes more security breaches than weak passwords, requiring a shift toward user-friendly tools and behaviors.

Why Your Employees Are Your Best Security Defense

Empowering employees with security awareness training often provides better protection than stacking more technology, turning human factors from a weakness into your strongest defense.

Why Most Security Awareness Training Fails and What to Do About It

Security awareness training often fails because it focuses on knowledge rather than behavior, but shifting to a behavior-based approach can lead to better outcomes and fewer incidents.

The Myth of Multifactor Authentication Security

Multifactor authentication enhances security but is not foolproof, as it can be bypassed through social engineering and technical exploits. Understanding its limitations and adopting stronger methods is essential for effective protection.

Why MFA Is Not Enough Anymore

Multi-factor authentication is no longer a silver bullet for security as attackers develop new bypass methods, requiring a layered defense approach with phishing-resistant tools and continuous monitoring.

Why Phishing Still Works and What to Do About It

Phishing remains a top threat because it exploits human psychology, not just technical gaps. Shifting focus to employee awareness and habits can build stronger defenses than relying solely on technology.

Rethinking Password Security

Complex password rules often increase risk by encouraging poor habits. Learn how password managers and multi-factor authentication offer more practical protection for organizations of all sizes.
