Site-to-Site Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
Site-to-Site Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) allow organizations
to access local network resources from multiple locations via the
Internet. VPN technology provides additional security because it
encrypts traffic as it traverses the network. Even data being transmitted over
public Wi-Fi is more secure using VPN technology. This project explains how to
deploy and why you may want to use VPN tunneling.

What Is 5G Technology and Where Is It Taking Us?
The new fifth generation (5G) wireless technology for digital
cellular networks offers speeds 100-400 times faster than existing
4G networks. 5G is also capable of supporting up to a million
devices per square kilometer. Communication over 5G networks will be real-
time, making it conducive for robotics, autonomous cars, and other devices
collectively referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT).

Cryptojacking – Mining My Own Business
Cryptojacking can best be described as the unauthorized use
of someone else’s computer to mine cryptocurrency. Access is
typically gained by infecting a website or ad with JavaScript
that automatically executes once it loads into the victim’s browser. Once
compromised, the unwelcomed cryptomining code runs in the background
virtually unnoticeable.
