Where the Azure Administrator is seen as a spider in the web of Microsoft cloud services is the Azure Architect playing the role of a generalist. They hold the umbrella of Azure Administration, Azure Development and Devops processes. Therefore they need to have advanced experience and knowledge of IT operations, including networking, virtualization, identity, security, business continuity, disaster recovery, data platforms, and governance. And a professional in this role should manage how decisions in each area affect an overall solution. Every organisation with some cloud ambitions should have at least one of these Architects in their teams.

As the skills gap continues to impact businesses in critical areas like cloud, data science and cybersecurity, organizations seek out those professionals with reputable credentials that validate their experience and capability. In turn, these certified professionals tend to enjoy more leverage in the marketplace because they’ve earned certifications recognized as trustworthy affirmations of their skills.

The Microsoft security operations analyst can be seen as the gatekeeper for the organisation and collaborates with organizational stakeholders to secure information technology systems for the organization.

The cloud in general and specifically the Microsoft Azure cloud enables companies to act faster. They can adapt new processes and implement new technology much quicker than they were able to in the past. They do it without the huge investments they had, but it comes with a monthly subscription cost and some ‘pay as you go’ costs. Where in the past (file)servers where implemented as the platform for solutions, it is now the Microsoft Azure cloud as the solution platform.

To understand the difference between Ethernet II and 802.3, you first must know how Ethernet works. While Ethernet cables transmit data, their role is relatively simple compared to that of the Ethernet card — also referred to as an adapter. It’s within the function of this card that you find the differences between Ethernet II and 802.3.

While the recent trend towards cloud computing might make it seem like virtualization is new, it has existed in some form for many decades.

Most of us have heard of "oversharing" in the social sense (i.e. giving out too many details of your personal life), but how about "under sharing" in the Windows Server realm? What does that even mean? Well, I sort of just made that up, but it does actually make some sense when you think about it in terms of creating a Windows Share that doesn’t provide enough permissions.

As the sophistication, stealth, and frequency of cybersecurity threats continue to increase, the complexity of attacks means every organization needs security expertise before, during, and after an attack. For this reason, the demand for cybersecurity operations (CyberOps) personnel keeps going up.

There are many challenges that come to the forefront as you begin the process of virtualizing the data center and moving away from the current physical network setup.

Using Palo Alto Networks, PAN-OS, enterprises can build an IT Security Platform capable of delivering protection against all stages of the Cyber-Attack Lifecycle.
