Organizations and individuals are threatened with ever-growing cyber threats and must be prepared to address them. The more we are connected to networks, the more suspectable we are to attacks, therefore enterprises must stay current applying various cybersecurity measures and maintaining awareness of cybersecurity trends.    

Network switching skills are fundamental to administering and maintaining computer networking. This webinar reviews fundamental networking skills from a Cisco perspective. Technical professionals looking to take the next step into Cisco specific networking technologies will benefit from this information. View the slide deck>

Those who have never trained in a virtual classroom, or haven’t trained in one for years, may have some pre-conceived notions about online training – many of which are either wrong or out-of-date. To dispel any misconceptions, let’s explore eight common myths of virtual training and the truth behind each.

Find out what changes have been made and how you now have multiple paths to success with the help of Cisco Certification 2020! The new set of certification exams launched on 24th February. It provides a common language for software developers and networkers to bring the two together. The certification programme will also open-up a brand new horizon of job roles and skill sets that are already starting to emerge. Announced at last year’s Cisco Live event in San Diego, the new DevNet certifications aim to help professionals combine infrastructure expertise with programming to take advantage of the possibilities of intent-based networking. Changes to the Cisco certification programme also include new training and certifications in five key technology tracks. In the traditional Cisco network programme, the certifications range from the associate level to the expert level. The new certification involves a DevNet Associate, a DevNet Professional and soon there will also be a DevNet Expert certification. In this one hour webinar, John Berry discusses what’s new in Cisco Certification, what the professional of the future should look like and how to prepare technology professionals for new roles as a network automation developer.

The benefit of Private Group Training (PGT), particularly when it comes to high-priority or high-risk skills, is it gathers a group of like colleagues together in front of a subject matter expert. PGT, which can also be referred to as onsite training, coordinates the group, eliminating the disparity between co-worker skill sets.

This webinar covers the evolution from physical servers to VMs to containers and the driving factors behind this change. We explain why containers are useful in an enterprise environment and why they are so popular with developers and administrators. In addition, we list the available container solutions on AWS (Elastic Container Services – ECS, Elastic Kubernetes Services – EKS, and Fargate), GCP (Google Kubernetes Engine – GKE), and Azure (Azure Container Instances – ACI and Azure Kubernetes Service – AKS).   View the slide deck>

For women in IT, advancing your career can be a challenge in itself. In the Global Knowledge 2019 IT Skills and Salary Report, only eight percent of senior- and executive-level IT professionals are women. We have pulled data from our research that sheds light on the job roles, skills, challenges, certifications and experience of women in tech who have progressed to the highest levels of an organization.

IT is rife with opportunity and challenges. There are plenty of options to learn new and exciting skills, and also to earn high salaries. But new technologies have disrupted the industry, and IT staff and management aren’t always on the same page. We went directly to the source to understand the biggest challenges currently in IT. 

According to the report, women make up 16% of the tech workforce, and an even smaller percentage (8%) are at the senior or executive level. The women in those higher-level IT positions tend to hold more IT certifications and are actively pursuing more certifications compared to women in mid- or entry-level roles.

Examine the evolution from physical servers to VMs to containers and the driving factors behind this change. Also review the available container management solutions on AWS, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure.
