Inadequate Password Complexity Policies

Some online services have lenient password complexity policies, allowing users to create weak passwords easily. This poses a security risk: Reduced Security: Weak password complexity policies make it easier for attackers to guess passwords or use dictionary attacks. False Sense of Security: Users may perceive their accounts as more secure than they actually are when allowed to create weak passwords. To overcome this challenge, organizations should enforce strong password complexity policies that require users to create passwords with a blend of upper and lower case cultivations, numbers, and special characters. Additionally, they can encourage the use of multi-factor validation (MFA) for an added layer of security. Lack of User Education Many users lack awareness of password security best practices, leading to suboptimal password choices: Weak Password Creation: Users may not understand the importance of strong passwords or how to create them. Limited Awareness of Risks: ...

ICT in the classroom

The generalization of information technology and telematics is an inevitable and irreversible process, these technologies have proven their validity to solve problems of an economic, practical, financial, information management, and work efficiency type.

The rate of generalization is very fast, and our adaptability does not seem to be sufficient to handle it efficiently. Many people come to computing and telematics without a true knowledge of the nature of these technologies, without understanding what they can be used for; There is still a very technical language used by the producers, administrators and technologists of the new machines, which is not adapted to the language of the end user in different fields.

These fields are:

1.            Scientific

2.            Economic

3.            Commercial

4.            Educational

5.            Domestic

To take advantage of the positive effect and reduce the perverse effects, there are changes that accelerate the process of computer literacy and telematics . In this sense, relevant changes are observed in the new generations, as well as its use in more and more activities of daily life. One of these activities is the education and training processes of the population, since more and more, people are being educated with technology as the main teaching tool, varying the traditional way of learning.

Older generations do not adapt as quickly as younger generations to ICTs, but are more conditioned by the educational system and by the traditional way of producing and accessing knowledge. The youngest are flexible and can easily adapt to these technologies .

In the school environment , this difference is sometimes established between the teacher and his students, since it is generally the adolescents who first appropriate this language and master it. In other cases, the gap is between students from the same school who come from different social strata, or from schools that have different qualities of resources.

Currently in Spain, according to a report by the Telefónica Foundation, more than 70% of teachers use ICT in the classroom, and as a WEBDesk technology offers them so-called virtual teaching and learning spaces (EVEA) made up of different utilities, many of which we know.

Such as:

1.            Search engines : Google, Yahoo.

2.            Organizers : Blogline, Diigo, Clipmarks.

3.            On-line encyclopedias : Wikipedia.

4.            Document editors : GoogleDocs.

5.            Online stores : Box.

6.            Collaborative : Netvibes.

7.            Languages : Praxis.

The potential of telecommunication networks for education is enormous , from e-mail, file transfer, information search, and research of bibliographic sources to the exchange of experiences, and teleconferences that allow holding meetings and exchanges to distance. These "virtual meetings" that make the senses, intelligence and communication capacity of man extend in time and space, can have a pedagogical, discussion or research nature, to exchange or complete information, establish alliances, complement resources; in short: they are elements of cooperation and integration.

The new generations of people handle a lot of information and have an infinite desire to learn, so they want to be the protagonists of their learning and show a great disposition for active participation. According to the testimony of basic education teachers, before if you threw a question into the classroom, two people would raise their hands, today there are 30 who do. A challenge for teachers who have to change their role from teachers to mediators of knowledge. The subjects that teachers teach should always be context-bound ; First you teach the utility of addition and then you teach how to add.

In this new teaching model, collective learning prevails . Knowledge belongs to the group, the teacher is more of a guide than an instructor for a whole generation of copy & paste students . To carry out their tasks, they now have a lot of tools that make it easier for them to carry out their work. Even being shy in the real world, they are uninhibited in the digital environment , where face to face is lost, which together with their predisposition to collaborate in the community provides great potential for development. All these qualities, well used, will allow a new wave of economic and social development.
