Guidelines for Effective Academic Writing

 Here are some guidelines for effective academic writing. It is based on my own experience writing for computer science journals and conferences.  Don't use 'the' with an abbreviation. Use active tenses unless a passive is extremely necessary. Use the same form of the verb (present/past) when describing related work and be consistent with it throughout the manuscript. Don't use the before plurals. Don't use etc when including a list of items. Never use the word 'suggest' when referring to the previous work. The word 'report' could be a better option.  Don't use 's with an abbreviation, for example, SDN's capability could be written as SDN capability. Don't use the word "paradigm" use only when it makes sense. Always use "," after then, however, thus, etc. Be consistent, use the same form of "TENSE, i.e., PAST or PRESENT" in the whole section. Do not use "the", "a" ...in front of single

Protecting IT Infrastructure: Key Takeaways from the CrowdStrike Update Incident

Image
  The Microsoft outage, linked to CrowdStrike’s Falcon Sensor, led to 'Blue Screen of Death' errors and widespread service disruptions in various industries, including hospitals, banks, airlines, emergency services, and supermarkets. In the recent incident, an update to CrowdStrike's Falcon product caused significant disruptions globally. Falcon is an endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution that monitors traffic passing through systems to protect against malicious files, viruses, and malware, relying on cloud technology to secure devices on corporate networks (CrowdStrike, 2024). The problem arose when an update to the Falcon software triggered an endless loop of the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) on many Windows machines (Microsoft, 2024). This catastrophic failure occurred because the Falcon software talks directly to the Windows kernel for greater speed and protection. The update contained a bug that led to a kernel-level error, causing the machines to crash and beco
