[sauravsharma3489]

The Rajasthan SSO ID is a unique digital identity that enables citizens to access various government services and schemes. It is a 10-digit ID that is issued after registering on the official SSO portal. The ID is used to authenticate and authorize citizens' access to various government services, including e-governance, online payments, and more. With an SSO ID, citizens can track their applications, pay bills, and access various services in a secure and convenient manner. The ID is also used to provide personalized services to citizens, making it easier for them to access essential services and benefits.

sso vs the concept of good gameplay. yeah its another fucking book length post >:3

thoughts from someone with a brain full of what good game design means and tons of years of studying and analysing that topic etc, bc of game design being one of my main interests.

basically the major thing i want to say about the hollow woods update aside from "yay forest kinda pretty :)" is that most of it doesn't really consist of what i would call gameplay. this is ofc something u can argue back and forth that im also open to, bc respectful analytical discussion is healthy.

the firefly stuff id personally call something more like "satisfaction play" than gameplay (idk if there's a widespread term that anyone else made up already). there is zero challenge to gathering fireflies - it's on the level of poking a glitter slime simulation app. it might feel satisfying to collect them, but there is no practised skill needed, no thinking or planning or anything. so i don't consider this "gameplay", but "satisfaction play" in itself isn't a bad thing, either. it's not that "gameplay" would be inherently better than "satisfaction play" in every case.

the puzzles are gameplay, i think - not very challenging gameplay (the answers are right there as soon as the puzzle is presented), but it *is* arguably gameplay, since we do call puzzle-solving "gameplay" in general. there is some argument there to be made about what a "puzzle" really means, and what is a simple "request and task" rather than a "puzzle", or what "knowing a real life fact" (what is 180 degrees?) versus "having to figure something out using information available inside the game" might mean for how we view what is or isn't a puzzle. but that's not specific to sso at all (a question for tons of various "puzzles" as seen in tons of various games).

there's nothing wrong in itself with satisfaction play, or with easy puzzles. sometimes that's exactly what an audience wants. but sso has a bigger issue, in that the main gameplay until now has been races (or courses, tracks, but let's say races) and that those races are not especially well designed. that there is very little of really challenging, fun, satisfying, rewarding gameplay in sso - in the terms of what people usually expect from videogames (of the gameplay-based type, not satisfaction play-based).

don't jump to conclusions here, but: i often make a comparison to mariokart, a game with a primary race mechanic. i used to play mariokart a lot because it was just really fun. it was fun alone or with friends or strangers, and it was fun to try to beat my best score, and it was fun to explore different ways of beating the same track. when you design a game, you have to think really heavily about: is the core gameplay loop fun? what makes people want to play this? to *re*play this? does it feel satisfying and exciting? is it better or at the same level as its competitors? what kind of things appeal to the target audience? and so on.

somehow sso has never felt like mariokart (except that one rainbow race, obvs), and i don't mean that sso could just "copy mariokart", this isnt the point. what i do mean is that there has to be a way to make your racing mechanic (if it is a primary mechanic of your game!) actually fun, engaging and challenging in the right way - the good game design way, not the clunky, frustrating and broken way. (yes, i know the engine is spaghetti garbage. no, i don't think that's a get-out-of-jail-free card for every problem that sse has.)

they made some progress with this when they added a completely out-of-place, more challenging race in one of the more recent story quests (i forget exactly when that was, but the race was in hollow woods). the problem then was that within the context of sso and what they have taught the players about their game, this race was thrown at us with no preparation for its challenges, which is bad game design. you want to introduce your player to different challenges and allow them to practice and learn, which didn't happen when we jump from "races with basically no skill needed to pass" to "a race with new things happening everywhere you need to react to while also successfully following a new path" out of nowhere. the intent was good - more challenging and exciting, dramatic races - the execution wasn't great.

they also made some progress with this when they revamped a few of the champs. the revamps aren't perfect, but they're good, and it was a good step towards improving core gameplay mechanics, that not only are genuinely enjoyable to many players but also *fit into the theme of the game* (as in, beating others at horse sports is a common theme within the equestrian theme). (i'm personally in shock that we don't have more champs across the map since all of these years, and that they aren't better already, since it's one of the most "regular videogame quality" content this game has and it shouldve been relatively easy to add more as well as maintaining and improving what was there).

so, back to the new valedale stuff.... sort of. there have been some puzzles in sso before, and some random gameplay (the click timing of searching for gold). the stuff we've had before: it's usually very basic puzzles and random gameplay, partially on behalf of that - for a long time - there doesn't seem to have been that much resources put into fighting with the engine to create new things that weren't in the code before, and partially because of a view held by some people at the company that games for young girls don't need to have any actual well-designed challenging gameplay, and that it's better to make it ridiculously easy so that nobody ever really loses or gets stuck on anything. you don't have to practice to beat any of the races - you might have to practice to get a top score or win a champ, but none of those are required for progress. similarly, there wasn't any real challenge that i remember to the absolute majority of non-racing quests, either. you might have to hit a thing with the right timing once in a while, but it's always easy (other games do this too - see QTE in certain AAA games!), or you might have to remember a number or a word for a minute and answer a question or type in a code correctly.

more or less everytime that there were puzzles in sso, they held your hand through it - whether you wanted to or not. the same is true for the rune puzzles, which have their solution blatantly in front of you as soon as they load. there is no changing actual difficulty level to make it more fitting to the player (which doesn't necessarily have to be a literal level setting - it can come organically, such as giving extra explanations, or slowing a timer down, after a player has failed a task 3 times, etc). yes, you can make the rune puzzles more complex in some sense - a bigger grid, or choosing the type of moves you are worse at - but the solution is always right in front of you, regardless. they hold your hand whether you like it or not, by the type of puzzle that they introduced.

races in sso have a "gold, silver or bronze" system, but we don't actually see that the races have been correctly playtested to properly reflect what a time worthy of each medal should be, and we also don't really gain anything from reaching any medal. i never feel a thing about getting this or that medal, because they mean nothing. it might be a good thing that we're never asked in a quest to "complete this race with a gold medal" or "complete this race under a certain time" or "complete this jumping course with no faults", since that could lock some players out of completing quests (while this is the case for most other games, there is also an important discussion happening around accessibility in game completion).

there are ways to make the medals in races matter, feel accurate, and feel rewarding. there are ways to make races more challenging or more interesting without just being more clunky or frustrating. there are ways to do that while keeping them more or less grounded in reality, and ways to do that while incorporating non-realistic elements that are fun and feel fitting (remembering that this is a game with magic and fantasy from the start). they could have added faults to jumping courses forever ago, they could have added dressage forever ago, and improved on gameplay like pole bending and barrel racing, and so on, and all while allowing players at all skill levels to still complete tasks and complete races, but also allowing players to challenge themselves for rewards.

if the core gameplay - around races and championships, around horse care, horse bonding and horse training - or around magic and protecting what's dear, or around rescue missions with the rangers, or tons of other stuff i can think up that would fit this game - if that stuff felt like actually well designed gameplay, something fun, not frustrating and buggy, challenging in the right ways and rewarding. if all that was done well, then adding some "satisfaction play" with fireflies or some simple puzzles with blatant solutions wouldn't be as easy to criticise.

the closest thing we got to challenging gameplay that you can really clearly *lose* at - that there is a risk and a skill involved - were some of the druid training missions. they still suffered from some clunky frustrations and non-ideal design decisions, but it was an attempt at more regular gameplay (among the non-racing gameplay). comparing the new gameplay in valedale to the druid training, you can see that the risk of failure has gone down a lot or been removed completely, rather than being built upon any more. they also didn't continue to update druid training in any way afaik or to build upon that foundation for other gameplay. (i'm open to that druid training may have been too difficult for a small subset of players, and that's a valid discussion. but i also think it was optional?)

i don't have a really nice tidy thought to end this with, and im really sleepy rn and going to bed. but the overall point is that if sso had other, well-designed and well-functioning gameplay that felt satisfying and rewarding for players, the flaws of the new valedale stuff would be less glaring. as things are, the lack of challenge and the lack of fun gameplay are really glaring problems with it, as well as the lack of reasonable rewards. (it makes very little sense that you have to purchase the items you unlock, but this is the same company that charged whatever x starcoins it was for those recoloured balloon pets, so.)

I have too many thoughts on The Great Gatsby (2013)

Music by Molly Noise (She/Her)

YouTube | Podcast | Patreon

This video sees me delving into the 2013 adaptation of The Great Gatsby directed by Baz Luhrmann; a film that many have regarded as a definitive version of F Scott Fitzgerald's original novel, while others regard it as a dubstep-laden imitation of the literary classic. Which one is it? Settle in and find out, old sport!

Holistic cybersecurity services and solutions 

Holistic cybersecurity services and solutions focus on a comprehensive, end-to-end approach to protect an organization’s digital ecosystem. This type of cybersecurity strategy aims not only to defend against individual threats but also to build a resilient infrastructure that can adapt to evolving cyber risks.

Key Components of Holistic Cybersecurity

1.            Risk Assessment & Management

•             Identifying and evaluating risks to understand vulnerabilities, threat vectors, and the potential impact on the business.

•             Using a combination of internal audits, penetration testing, and threat modeling.

2.            Identity and Access Management (IAM)

•             Enforcing strict policies to manage who has access to systems and data, including user authentication, authorization, and monitoring.

•             Utilizing technologies like multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), and privileged access management (PAM).

3.            Network Security

•             Protecting the organization’s network infrastructure through firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and zero-trust network access (ZTNA).

•             Regular network monitoring and segmentation to minimize the risk of lateral movement during an attack.

4.            Endpoint Protection

•   ��         Securing individual devices (e.g., laptops, mobile devices) with endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions.

•             Implementing software and hardware policies that prevent unauthorized access or malware infiltration.

5.            Data Protection and Encryption

•             Encrypting sensitive data both at rest and in transit to protect it from unauthorized access or breaches.

•             Implementing data loss prevention (DLP) tools to monitor and control data movement.

6.            Cloud Security

•             Ensuring that cloud services (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) meet security requirements and best practices, such as encryption, access control, and configuration management.

•             Monitoring cloud environments continuously for suspicious activity.

7.            Security Awareness Training

•             Educating employees on the latest security practices, phishing prevention, and proper data handling.

•             Regularly updating training to adapt to new threats and vulnerabilities.

8.            Incident Response & Disaster Recovery

•             Establishing and testing an incident response (IR) plan that includes detection, containment, and mitigation procedures.

•             Having a disaster recovery (DR) plan that covers data backup, restoration, and business continuity to minimize downtime.

9.            Threat Intelligence and Continuous Monitoring

•             Collecting threat intelligence to stay updated on emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and attacker techniques.

•             Leveraging Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems to analyze and monitor events in real time.

10.          Compliance and Governance

•             Ensuring the cybersecurity strategy aligns with regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA) and industry standards (e.g., NIST, ISO/IEC 27001).

•             Establishing governance policies to manage cybersecurity risks and accountability across the organization.

Holistic Cybersecurity Solutions in Practice

Implementing a holistic cybersecurity framework means adopting an integrated solution that pulls together technologies, people, and processes into one streamlined, proactive defense. Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) and Security Operations Centers (SOCs) play a critical role here by offering continuous monitoring, incident response, and expert support to manage and mitigate risks. By viewing cybersecurity as a collective and interconnected ecosystem, organizations can adapt better to changing threat landscapes and secure their most valuable assets across all fronts.

AdNovum Singapore - 7 Must-Have Cybersecurity Services for Every Business

Technological innovations are becoming more sophisticated, but so are the threats that can jeopardise data, interrupt business activities, and harm a brand's image. As companies navigate this challenging digital terrain, allocating resources towards robust cybersecurity services becomes necessary.

Explore the fundamental cybersecurity services every business needs, focusing on their importance to securing your brand's assets.

7 Cybersecurity Services Every Business Needs

1. Risk Assessment and Management

A comprehensive risk assessment is the foundation of any effective cybersecurity strategy. This service involves identifying, evaluating, and prioritising risks to an organisation's information assets. Cybersecurity consulting services are necessary for thorough risk assessments by leveraging their expertise to identify vulnerabilities internal teams might overlook. Through detailed analysis and usage of advanced tools, consultants can provide actionable insights and recommendations to mitigate identified risks. This proactive approach ensures that businesses are aware of potential threats and can implement appropriate measures to address them, reducing the likelihood of a security breach.

2. Network Security

Securing the corporate network is a top priority for any business. Network security services encompass a range of solutions designed to protect data's integrity, confidentiality, and availability as it travels across networks. This process includes the implementation of firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and intrusion prevention systems (IPS). Cybersecurity consulting services assist businesses in selecting and configuring these tools to ensure maximum effectiveness. Companies can prevent unauthorised access and potential data breaches by continuously monitoring network traffic and identifying suspicious activities. Additionally, consultants can help develop and enforce network security policies that govern how data is accessed and transmitted within the organisation, further enhancing the overall security posture.

The Evolution of Identity and Access Management: SCIM, SAML vs. OpenID Connect, and Integration Challenges

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, Identity and Access Management (IAM) has become crucial for organizations to ensure security, compliance, and efficiency. The increasing reliance on technology has necessitated the development of sophisticated IAM protocols and standards. This blog will explore a SCIM example, compare SAML vs. OpenID Connect, and discuss the challenges and solutions associated with IAM integration.

Understanding SCIM: An Example

System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) is a standard protocol designed to simplify the management of user identities in cloud-based applications and services. SCIM automates the exchange of user identity information between identity providers and service providers, ensuring seamless integration and synchronization.

SCIM Example

Consider an organization using multiple cloud services, such as Office 365, Google Workspace, and Salesforce. Managing user identities manually across these platforms can be cumbersome and error-prone. By implementing SCIM, the organization can automate the provisioning and deprovisioning of user accounts.

For instance, when a new employee joins the company, the IAM system can automatically create their user account in all relevant cloud services using SCIM. Similarly, when an employee leaves, their access can be revoked across all platforms in a streamlined manner. This automation enhances security, reduces administrative workload, and ensures consistent identity data across all systems.

Comparing SAML vs. OpenID Connect

When it comes to authentication protocols, SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) and OpenID Connect are two of the most widely used standards. Both serve the purpose of providing secure authentication, but they do so in different ways and are suited to different use cases.

SAML

SAML is an XML-based framework primarily used for Single Sign-On (SSO) in enterprise environments. It allows users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple applications without re-entering credentials. SAML is commonly used in scenarios where secure, federated access to web applications is required, such as accessing corporate intranets or SaaS applications.

OpenID Connect

OpenID Connect is a modern identity layer built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. It uses JSON-based tokens and is designed for mobile and web applications. OpenID Connect provides a more flexible and user-friendly approach to authentication, making it ideal for consumer-facing applications where user experience is paramount.

SAML vs. OpenID Connect: Key Differences

Protocol Structure: SAML uses XML, whereas OpenID Connect uses JSON.

Use Cases: SAML is suited for enterprise SSO, while OpenID Connect is better for modern web and mobile applications.

Token Types: SAML uses assertions, whereas OpenID Connect uses ID tokens.

User Experience: OpenID Connect generally offers a more seamless and user-friendly experience compared to SAML.

The Challenges of IAM Integration

With the growing reliance on technology, integrating various IAM components and protocols has become increasingly complex. Effective IAM integration is essential for ensuring that different systems work together harmoniously, providing a seamless and secure user experience. However, several challenges can arise during the integration process.

Compatibility Issues

Organizations often use a mix of legacy systems and modern applications, leading to compatibility issues. Ensuring that different IAM solutions can communicate and share identity data effectively is a significant challenge.

Data Consistency

Maintaining consistent identity data across multiple platforms is crucial for security and compliance. Any discrepancies in user data can lead to unauthorized access or account lockouts.

Scalability

As organizations grow, their IAM systems must be able to scale accordingly. Integrating IAM solutions that can handle an increasing number of users and applications without compromising performance is vital.

Security Concerns

Integrating multiple IAM solutions can introduce security vulnerabilities if not done correctly. Ensuring that data is securely transmitted and that all systems adhere to robust security protocols is paramount.

Solutions for Effective IAM Integration

To overcome these challenges, organizations should adopt a strategic approach to IAM integration:

Standardization

Adopting standard protocols such as SCIM, SAML, and OpenID Connect can simplify integration by ensuring compatibility and consistency across different systems.

Centralized Identity Management

Implementing a centralized IAM platform can help streamline identity management processes and ensure consistent data across all applications and services.

Regular Audits

Conducting regular audits of IAM systems and processes can help identify and address potential vulnerabilities and inconsistencies, ensuring that the integration remains secure and effective.

Vendor Support

Working with reputable IAM vendors who offer comprehensive support and integration services can significantly ease the integration process and ensure a successful deployment.

Conclusion

As organizations continue to increase their reliance on technology, the need for robust and effective IAM integration becomes more critical. By understanding the differences between SAML vs. OpenID Connect, leveraging standards like SCIM, and adopting strategic integration practices, organizations can enhance security, streamline operations, and provide a seamless user experience. The right IAM solutions not only protect against cyber threats but also empower businesses to thrive in the digital age.

Authorization vs Authentication: Key Differences Explained

What’s Authorization vs Authentication?

An organisation’s identity and access management (IAM) solution separates authentication and authorization. Users are authenticated. Users are authorised to access system resources.

Authentication requires users to give credentials like passwords or fingerprint scans.Access to a resource or network is determined by user permissions. For instance, file system permissions determine whether a user can create, read, update, or delete files. In addition to humans, gadgets, automated workloads, and web apps require authentication and authorization. IAM systems can handle authentication and authorization separately or together.

Verification is frequently required for authorization. Users must be identified before a system may provide them access.

Hacked user accounts and access rights are rising due to identity-based assaults. These attacks make up 30% of cyberattacks, according to the IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index.

Identity and permission restrict access and prevent data breaches. Strong authentication prevents hackers from taking over user accounts. These accounts are less vulnerable to hackers with strong authorization.

Realising authentication

Authentication method

User credentials authentication factors are exchanged during authentication, abbreviated “authn.” A user’s identity is verified by authentication factors.

New system users create authentication factors. When logging in, these factors appear. Present factors are compared to file factors. A match means the system trusts the user. Regular authentication factors include:

A password, PIN, or security question that only the user knows.

Possession factors: A SMS-sent one-time PIN (OTP) or a physical security token that only the user holds.

Factors: Facial and fingerprint recognition.

Individual apps and resources can authenticate themselves. Users can authenticate once to access numerous resources in a secure domain in many organisations’ integrated systems, such as SSO.

SAML and OIDC are prevalent authentication protocols. SAMl employs XML messages to communicate authentication information, while OIDC uses “ID tokens” JSON Web Tokens (JWTs).

Verification methods

SFA verifies a user’s identification with one factor. Logging into social media with a username and password is SFA.

Multifactor authentication (MFA) uses a password and fingerprint scan.

2FA is a sort of MFA that requires two elements. Most internet users have used 2FA, such as a banking app requiring a password and a phone-sent PIN.

A passwordless authentication mechanism uses no passwords or knowledge factors. Passwordless systems are popular at preventing credential thieves from stealing knowledge factors, which are easy to steal.

User riskiness determines authentication requirements in adaptive authentication systems using  artificial intelligence and machine learning. User wanting to access secret data may need to provide numerous authentication factors before system verification.

Exemplary authentication

Mobile phone unlocking with a fingerprint and PIN.

New bank account opening requires ID.

Browsers scan digital certificates to verify website legitimacy.

Each API call includes an app’s private API key to verify itself.

Know permission

Authorisation workings

Permissions determine authorization, or “authz.” System permissions govern user access and behaviour.

The authorization system enforces user permissions set by administrators and security leaders. Accessing a resource or taking an action requires the authorization system to validate a user’s permissions.

Examine a sensitive client database. This database is only visible to authorised users. Database access depends on authorization if they can. Reading, creating, deleting, and updating entries?

Authorization protocols like OAuth 2.0 employ access tokens to grant user permissions. Data is shared between apps using OAuth. If a user consents, OAuth lets a social networking site examine their email contacts for friends.

Authority types

Role-based access control (RBAC) determines user access permissions. Firewall configurations can be viewed but not changed by a junior security analyst, while the head of network security can.

Attribute-based access control (ABAC) uses user, object, and action attributes including name, resource type, and time of day to allocate access. ABAC analyses all relevant attributes and only gives access if a user meets established requirements. User access to sensitive data may be restricted to work hours and seniority in an ABAC system.

ALL users must follow centrally specified access control (MAC) policies. RBAC and ABAC are more granular than MAC systems, which use clearance or trust ratings to establish access. Programme access to sensitive system resources is controlled by MAC in several operating systems.

DAC systems let resource owners specify their own access policies. DAC is more flexible than MAC’s blankets.

Authorization instances

Email logins only display emails. Non-authorized users cannot view messages.

Healthcare records systems only allow doctors with specific approval to examine patient data.

A user creates a shared file document. Other users can view but not edit the document since they set access settings to “read only”.

An unknown programme can’t change laptop settings.

Authentication and authorization secure networks.

Authentication and authorization protect sensitive data and network resources from insiders and outsiders. Authentication protects user accounts, whereas authorization protects access systems.

Basis for identification and access management

IDAM systems detect user activity, prohibit unauthorised access to network assets, and enforce granular permissions so only authorised users can access resources. To establish meaningful access controls, organisations must answer two key questions: authentication and authorization.

You who? What can you accomplish with this system? (Authentication) Organisations must identify users to grant appropriate access levels (Authorization). The correct authentication factors are needed for a network administrator to log in. When that happens, the IAM system will let the user add and remove users.

Resisting advanced cyberattacks

Thieves are hijacking user accounts and misusing their privileges to cause havoc as organisational security procedures improve. IBM X-Force Threat Intelligence Index: Identity-based assaults rose 71% between 2022 and 2023.

Cybercriminals can easily launch these efforts. Breach-force attacks, infostealer software, and buying credentials from other hackers can crack passwords. X-Force Threat Intelligence Index discovered that 90% of dark web cloud assets are cloud account credentials. Using generative AI techniques, hackers can create more powerful phishing attacks in less time.

Verification and permission, however rudimentary, protect against identity theft and account misuse, including AI-powered attacks.

Biometrics can replace passwords, making account theft tougher.

Limiting user privileges to necessary resources and actions in granular authorization systems reduces lateral mobility. This reduces malware and insider threat harm from access privileges abuse.

IBM Security Verify adds more than authentication and authorization. Verify lets you safeguard accounts with passwordless and multifactor authentication and regulate apps with contextual access controls.

Key Components of the Salesforce Security Model

Salesforce, as a leading cloud-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform, serves countless organizations across various industries. Its vast array of features makes it a powerhouse for managing sales, customer service, marketing automation, and business analytics. However, the extensive capabilities of Salesforce also mean that ensuring robust security is paramount. Understanding the Salesforce Security Model is crucial for organizations to protect their data and maintain trust with their customers.

Key Components of the Salesforce Security Model

1. User Authentication: Salesforce employs a comprehensive authentication process to ensure that only authorized users can access the platform. This includes standard username and password combinations, as well as more secure methods such as two-factor authentication (2FA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) from external trusted systems.

2. Profiles and Permission Sets: These are the core elements of Salesforce’s security model. Profiles define how users access objects and data, including which fields they can see and the records they are allowed to interact with. Permission sets, on the other hand, are add-ons to profiles that provide additional access without altering the original profile structure. They are extremely useful for granting specific permissions to users on a temporary basis or for more granular control.

3. Record-Level Security: To manage data visibility at the record level, Salesforce uses Organization-Wide Defaults (OWDs), Role Hierarchies, Sharing Rules, and Manual Sharing. OWDs set the baseline access level for records. Role hierarchies allow higher-level roles in the hierarchy to access data accessible to roles beneath them. Sharing rules enable administrators to define exceptions to OWDs for particular groups of users, while manual sharing allows users to share individual records with others.

4. Field-Level Security: This allows administrators to control access to specific fields, even if a user has access to the object. Field-level security settings can be adjusted to ensure that sensitive information, like personal customer details or financial data, is only visible to users who require it to perform their job.

5. Audit Trails: Salesforce provides a detailed audit trail that records the date, time, user ID, and type of action taken on any record within the system. This feature helps in monitoring usage patterns and detecting potential unauthorized or malicious activity.

Best Practices for Maximizing Salesforce Security

Regularly review and update access permissions: As roles within an organization change, so should access permissions in Salesforce. Regular audits can help prevent privilege creep and ensure that users only have access to the data necessary for their roles.

Use data encryption: Salesforce offers several options for encrypting data at rest and in transit, which protects sensitive information from interception or unauthorized access.

Train users on security practices: Regular training sessions on security best practices can significantly reduce risks associated with phishing, social engineering, and accidental data exposure.

Implement comprehensive monitoring: Utilizing Salesforce’s event monitoring and field history tracking can help administrators spot unusual access patterns and potential security breaches.

By effectively leveraging the Salesforce Security Model, organizations can protect their vital data while making the most of Salesforce’s powerful CRM capabilities. Security in Salesforce is not just about technology; it’s about creating a culture of security mindfulness throughout the organization.

Week 6: Digital Citizenship

Digital citizenship is the ethical and responsible use of technology in digital spaces. In our increasingly digital world, digital citizenship concepts and practices are essential for safe and effective online navigation. Digital literacy, online etiquette, and digital rights and duties are all part of this notion. Digital citizenship adapts traditional citizenship to the digital world. Traditional citizenship requires being alert, well-informed, and involved in a community or nation. Digital citizenship is a concept that includes a range of theoretical conceptions, from those that emphasize the technological aspect, while others investigate the affordances of digital media to suggest new forms of citizenship (Gleason & von Gillern 2018). Conversely, digital citizenship expands online rights and duties. The link between digital and traditional citizenship emphasizes ethical behavior, involvement, and community participation in both. Digital citizenship includes a wide range of behaviors, habits, and abilities needed to responsibly use the internet. To navigate the online world in a time when the internet and digital technologies are critical, digital citizenship must be understood. This notion includes ethical behavior, digital technology skills, online safety, and digital community participation. Digital citizenship emphasises responsible, ethical, and safe digital behaviour. Digital literacy, critical thinking, courteous online behavior, and digital safety and well-being are vital. Digital citizenship will help people navigate the internet safely and ethically as technology advances. Platform studies is an interdisciplinary field that analyzes digital platforms' technological and cultural foundations. Software, social media, online markets, and other digital platforms allow users to engage, generate, and share information. Platform studies examine the technological, social, cultural, economic, and political effects of various platforms. "Platformization" involves adapting industries, services, and activities to digital platforms. Digital technology, networked infrastructures, and online ecosystems are integrated into corporate models and operations. Platformization affects retail, transportation, media, banking, healthcare, and education. Digital citizenship affects political involvement, civic engagement, and democratic government in the digital age, making it crucial to the election process. Digital citizenship is essential for informed engagement, proactive involvement, and the promotion of democratic values in the digital age to influence elections. Digital people improve the voting system by learning how to use technology, encouraging online ethics, and ensuring election fairness and security. This improves inclusion, transparency, and resilience. Digital citizenship and political involvement are closely linked in the modern era because digital technologies affect political participation. Digital citizenship conveys a different set of practices from simply casting a vote at a polling booth or participating in civil society to participating in online discussion (Luci & Julian 2021). Digital citizenship helps people to actively and intelligently participate in politics, creating a more educated, involved, and participatory democracy. Digital literacy and effective use of technology allow people to participate in political debates, advocate for social change, and hold government institutions responsible.
