In an era where cyber threats are escalating, understanding what constitutes a secure password is crucial. Recent studies reveal that a 5-character password using numbers and mixed-case letters can be cracked in just 2 hours, while an 18-character password with uppercase and lowercase letters, symbols, and numbers could take forever to break. Whever you can, follow the NIST SP 800-63B digital identity guidelines.
It’s 2025, and your AI assistant isn’t just booking your flights or scheduling meetings—it’s teaming up with other AI agents to tackle your entire workday. One agent sifts through your emails, another analyzes your sales data, and a third drafts a report, all while chatting seamlessly with each other. No human intervention, no clunky integrations—just pure, efficient collaboration. Sounds like sci-fi? Not anymore. Enter A2A (Agent to Agent), the protocol that’s about to revolutionize how AI systems work together. And trust me, it’s a game-changer. 🚀
Hey there! We welcomed 2025 with lot's of happenings, where the internet’s like a massive amusement park—thrilling rides, but a few sneaky pickpockets. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the star of the show, pulling off some jaw-dropping tricks, both cool and kinda scary.
Don’t worry—I’m breaking it down super simply, with real-life stories to keep it fun, so everyone gets what’s up. This is a quick peek at the hot cybersecurity topics we’ll dive deeper into later with full articles. Ready? Let’s roll!
Completed our email security series, let's explore Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI), which enhances brand recognition and trust in email inboxes.
Securing Emails in Transit with TLS 1.3
The TLS 1.3 article highlights its role in encrypting email traffic between mail servers, ensuring confidentiality and integrity. It explains how the protocol streamlines the handshake process, eliminates outdated algorithms (like RSA and SHA-1), and supports forward secrecy by default. Key benefits include improved performance, stronger encryption, and resistance to downgrade attacks. The article includes a visual flow of a secured SMTP session and practical tips for enabling TLS 1.3.
Visibility on search engines is a cornerstone of online success. However, there are strategic reasons why you might not want certain web pages indexed by search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo. Whether you're safeguarding sensitive content, staging a website for development / Staging, or protecting internal resources, preventing search engines from crawling or indexing your pages is essential to controlling your digital footprint.
Building on SPF (As explained in my last article.), let's dive into DomainKeys Identified Mail, or DKIM, another vital email authentication protocol that ensures your emails haven't been tampered with and are genuinely from your domain.
In today's digital age, email remains a critical communication tool for businesses and individuals alike. However, with its widespread use comes the risk of email-based attacks such as spoofing and phishing. To combat these threats, various email security protocols have been developed, one of which is the Sender Policy Framework, or SPF.
Email is the lifeblood of business communication. But in a world of rising cybercrime, it can also be your biggest vulnerability. TLS 1.3 closes security gaps, speeds up email delivery, and keeps hackers out of your business.
From Local to Remote — MCP is About to Change Everything
Let’s be real. AI has been stuck in the same old cycle—generating responses, retrieving data, and making fancy suggestions. But what about real action? What about AI that doesn’t just talk the talk but actually walks the walk? Enter Message Control Protocol (MCP)—the secret sauce that’s about to shake up the AI world.
