Triple Data Encryption Standard (Triple DES) is a symmetric block cipher-based cryptography standard that uses fixed length keys with three passes of the DES algorithm. As a symmetric cryptographic scheme, DES implementations rely on the same secret keys shared between the sender and the recipient. As we’ll see later, Triple DES was developed as a way to prevent man in the middle attacks. Let’s take a look at Triple DES — and we’ll start first with DES.

Cryptography is used to secure data at rest, stored in servers, and in motion, transmitted over the network. Cryptography involves mathematical operations that convert the original plaintext into an unintelligible ciphertext (encryption) and the reverse process, converting ciphertext to plaintext (decryption). Cryptographic algorithms apply these algorithms in combination of keys, which serve as a secret knowledge to complete the algorithmic operations correctly.

Threat hunting and detection are two major prevention strategies in modern cybersecurity systems. Both strategies help identify potential threats to the organizations — though they take different approaches to threat identification. This article explains the difference between threat hunting and detection, so you know what to focus on for your organization’s cybersecurity strategy.

Unless you’ve been avoiding your inbox like a cybercriminal avoids sunlight, you’ve probably seen something like this before: That right there is a classic example of a phishing email. Most security-aware individuals can spot a phishing email from a mile away. In the past, it used to be the misspellings, such as in this email, that gave it away. Now, misspellings and poor grammar aren’t ideal indicators of phishing attempts.
