Why is data security always so confusing?

Why is data security always so confusing?

We all read data security instructions and orders. And sometimes those orders are very confusing. Data security is an important thing. But why those orders are so hard to understand? The reason for that is those orders are written by specialists whose work is unknown to many other, even highly trained people.

People who work outside the ICT world, probably don't know what are IP addresses, switches, or routers. Sometimes we still see the fixed IP addresses written on the top of laptops in restaurants.

They might ever heard about RAID protocols. RAID ("redundant array of inexpensive disks" or "redundant array of independent disks") is the tool that makes so-called cloud services possible. (Wikipedia, RAID)

Those things are vital components in networks. If somebody gets access to routers or RAID backup setups, they can transfer all data from the company into their server. Regular people are never made any computer program. And somebody can even cheat them to drive some program application.

"A recent study identifies issues with current computer security guidelines, suggesting they are often confusing and overwhelming for employees. Researchers recommend a more curated approach, emphasizing key messages and prioritizing vital information to enhance computer security understanding and implementation". (ScitechDaily.com/Why Is Computer Security Advice So Confusing?)

They can simply send the code to the victim's messenger and then give instructions on how to copy-paste it into the programming editor. And that thing turns this code into a computer program. This kind of thing is possible if people have some C++ editor on their computer and they don't know what to do with that program.

Many data security instructions are written without explanations. The writers who made those orders did not write why something must done, like they are written in instructions why people must not give their computer's IP addresses to anybody. Some people do not even think that somebody can slip the so-called "bandit (WLAN) station" in their network. That kind of router can route entire data that travels in the network through it.

Some people think that data security instructions are only making their lives difficult. If high-rank leaders think that they must not follow data security instructions, that thing causes the risk that somebody steals information. The biggest problem is people who are not following orders because they believe that hackers are not attacking because they get consequences.

The new bendable sensor is like straight from the SciFi movies.

"Researchers at Osaka University have developed a groundbreaking flexible optical sensor that works even when crumpled. Using carbon nanotube photodetectors and wireless Bluetooth technology, this sensor enables non-invasive analysis and holds promise for advancements in imaging, wearable technology, and soft robotics. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, From Sci-Fi to Reality: Scientists Develop Unbreakable, Bendable Optical Sensor) The new sensor is like the net eye of bugs. But it's more accurate than any natural net eye. The system is based on flexible polymer film and nanotubes. The nanotubes let light travel through it. And then the film at the bottom of those tubes transforms that light into the image. This ultra-accurate CCD camera can see ultimate details in advanced materials. The new system can see the smallest deviation in the materials. And that thing makes it possible to improve safety on those layers. The ability to see ultra-small differences on surf

Quantum breakthrough: stable quantum entanglement at room temperature.

"Researchers have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature by embedding a light-absorbing chromophore within a metal-organic framework. This breakthrough, facilitating the maintenance of a quantum system’s state without external interference, marks a significant advancement for quantum computing and sensing technologies". (ScitechDaily, Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Stable Qubits at Room Temperature) Japanese researchers created stable quantum entanglement at room temperature. The system used a light-absorbing chromophore along with a metal-organic framework. This thing is a great breakthrough in quantum technology. The room-temperature quantum computers are the new things, that make the next revolution in quantum computing. This technology may come to markets sooner than we even think. The quantum computer is the tool, that requires advanced operating- and support systems. When the support system sees that the quantum entanglement starts to reach energy stability. I

Humans should be at the center of AI development.

"Experts advocate for human-centered AI, urging the design of technology that supports and enriches human life, rather than forcing humans to adapt to it. A new book featuring fifty experts from over twelve countries and disciplines explores practical ways to implement human-centered AI, addressing risks and proposing solutions across various contexts." (ScitechDaily, 50 Global Experts Warn: We Must Stop Technology-Driven AI) The AI is the ultimate tool for handling things that behave is predictable. Things like planets' orbiting and other mechanical things that follow certain natural laws are easy things for the AI. The AI might feel human, it can have a certain accent. And that thing is not very hard to program. It just requires the accent wordbook, and then AI can transform grammatically following text into text with a certain accent. Then the AI drives that data to the speech synthesizer. The accent mode follows the same rules as language translation programs. The ac
