The Caesar cipher is a simple encryption technique where each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a shift of 1, A would be replaced by B, and so on. It is one of the earliest known ciphers and is still used in modern ROT13 encryption. While simple, the Caesar cipher has no security against decryption by brute force since there are only 26 possible keys. More complex ciphers are needed to securely encrypt messages.
Dealing with Information Security, Risk Management & Cyber ResilienceDonald Tabone
The document discusses approaches to information security, risk management, and cyber resilience. It recommends taking a three-pronged approach to information security that includes awareness, technical controls, and periodic reviews. It also suggests adopting a framework for cyber risk management that is appropriate for the organization's needs and risk appetite.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
