Cybersecurity in Spain

Currently, 93% of Spanish citizens use the Internet. This is why new projects are already appearing in order to increase cybersecurity as much as possible. In Spain there are two institutions created for cybersecurity under the name of INCIBE-CERT and CCN-CERT. The first one is focused on companies and citizens and the second one only for the government.

I think it is worth making a separation before analysing security in Spain: before and after the appearance of COVID.

Before the pandemic there was not so much concern about cybersecurity, which has affected us in the state of inferiority that we are currently in compared to the UK or Germany. There were a few projects going on but at the official conferences, most of the companies did not attend, they had their minds set on their own company's profit or other reasons. But what's the point of getting wealth when they can take it away from you in hours through malware.

The key to Spain's focus on internet security was the pandemic. When 94% of internet users received at least one cyber-attack. Now the aforementioned institutions have gained much more importance from the public, putting in place many projects to mitigate cyber-attacks. Projects such as starting to implement cybersecurity awareness in education or encouraging entrepreneurship for the creation of cybersecurity companies. Achieving greater visibility in information security.

These types of situations make us think that we should be more aware to what is happening abroad and not shut ourselves up in our own businesses. Because the truth is that it is a shame to see that action on something is not taken until we have a bad experience in that field.

NETIQUETTE RULE

Share expert knowledge One of the basics of online behaviour is the Netiquette rules. Today we are going to discuss rule number 6. A rule that for me seems to be key to be able to learn and enjoy your online experience to the fullest. Share the knowledge of experts so that other people can soak up valuable information for your knowledge. It is appreciated that when you don't know about a subject yourself, you can find almost all the information about it compiled and verified their own sources. So you should do the same when you see a topic that is difficult to learn about, compile and write about. Even if you are the expert on the subject, don't be selfish and keep it to yourself, maybe someone else who also knows about your subject can help you to improve your knowledge about it. As an example, we could say that you need to know about blockchain. During your research path you come across a lot of nonsense and you see that it is a very confusing subject, difficult to get th...

RHEL vs CentOS

Nowadays the are more than 300 Linux distros. There is no one better than the other, each distro is different and one of them can be perfect for one user or unusable for another one. But, inside these 300 there are the contintents distros, that they aquired most of users and developers of the society. The other distros we can see them as small islands, not too popular but they have their specifics fans users, perfectly suited for their needs or their cusiosity. We are going to talk about two of the "continents" distros of Linux, their features, pros and conts, etc. The first distribution I want to talk about is Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), the gold stantard for the commercial Linux distributions. It is a high quality distribution created by two young american guys in 1994, available for workstations, servers, mainframes and supercomputers. It has become the most deployed coomercial Linux distribution in the public cloud thanks to the support of software applications and...
