This error occurs because the SSH server (your Cisco switch) only supports weak key exchange algorithms, such as diffie-hellman-group1-sha1, which are disabled by default in modern OpenSSH clients for security reasons.
Solution: Enable Legacy Key Exchange Algorithm in SSH

You can override the default SSH settings and explicitly allow diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 by adding the -o KexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 option.
🔹 Updated sshpass Command

while read switch; do
    sshpass -p 'yourpassword' ssh -o KexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no admin@$switch exit

Command and Control consists of techniques that adversaries may use to communicate with systems under their control within a victim network. Adversaries commonly attempt to mimic normal, expected traffic to avoid detection. There are many ways an adversary can establish command and control with various levels of stealth depending on the victim’s network structure and defenses

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Security Trust Assurance and Risk (STAR) program is a publicly accessible registry that documents the security and privacy controls provided by popular cloud computing offerings. STAR encompasses the key principles of transparency, rigorous auditing, and harmonization of standards outlined in the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM)1. By obtaining the CSA STAR Certification, Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) show to their clients that they are using best practices to protect data in cloud applications2. The CSA STAR Certification is a rigorous third-party independent assessment of the security of a cloud service provider. This technology-neutral certification leverages the requirements of the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 management system standard together with the CSA Cloud Controls Matrix3.

SIEM stands for Security Information and Event Management. Essentially, it's a software platform that aggregates data from various security sources across your IT infrastructure, analyzes it in real-time, and helps you detect and respond to potential security threats.

Think of it as a security command center:

Gathers information: Collects logs, alerts, and events from firewalls, intrusion detection systems, antivirus software, and other security tools.
Correlates data: Analyzes the collected information to identify patterns, anomalies, and potential threats.
Alerts and reports: Notifies security teams about potential incidents and provides reports for investigation and analysis.
Streamlines response: Helps automate incident response tasks and provides tools for investigation and mitigation.
Benefits of SIEM:
