What Makes a Security Plan?

      Hello, and welcome back to my blog. This week, I would like to quickly discuss the levels that go into making a security plan. These types of plans are an important tool for IT departments and Cybersecurity Administrators to design a plan that will help protect or slow down an attack on the network.     Of course, security plans can vary from company to company; however, their purpose remains the same, with threats looming every day. With IT managers adjusting in response to the ever-changing threats, the created security plan must be designed to stop or slow down any attempt to breach network defenses.

The reason being is that having every computer on one network would lead to issues if that subsequent work were to fail, which would stop operati

32-bit vs. 64-bit: What are the differences

In terms of architecture, what are the differences?   A quick history    In 1993, Microsoft released Windows NT 3.1, which was a fully 32-bit operating system.

In 2003, Microsoft would introduce a 64-bit Windows XP edition that took advantage of the 64-bit processors released.   What are the differences?   64-bit processors are more complex than 32-bit versions. This is because 64-bit processors can handle more data at once compared to the 32-bit processors. It can store more computational values, including memory addressing, which means it can access over four billion times the physical memory of a 32-bit version.   In terms of Windows Server, having the 64-bit version of the Server OS would allow for better performance with applications and utilize
