I love blogging. I do maintain my own blog for the technical solutions I find at my work on various issues that we come across in my daily life.

Here is my own blog: http://chandramatta.blogspot.com/

Blogging helps me in various ways - 
1. Creating a simplified solution or creating a small POC to the issue that came across
2. It is the place to save my old work and can quickly be used as a reference. 
3. Easy to share my ideas with others
4. It helps others to headstart for a solution

So I'm pro for the blogging as an assignment. It helped me finding new trends in cybersecurity.

My primary concentration for the blog is - Data breaches, cybersecurity,  and a few emerging trends in the Finance world. In a couple of blogs, I discussed about security measures to be taken care against malware and other cyber threats.

In one of my post, I discussed about using Artificial Intelligence in cybersecurity area. This may help in analyzing the traffic patterns quickly within the network and make decisions accordingly.
