You have earned a CompTIA certification. The next step is to ensure that your certification remains current and valid. Some certifications are good for life, while others require renewal. Let’s look at what certifications require renewal, the options that you have for maintaining your certifications, and steps to get it done.

The Internet is not a safe place. We see that more than ever with the security breaches of businesses and individuals in the news on a daily basis. As Internet citizens, we need to take our protection into our own hands, as obviously most online services are not doing their best to protect us.

The use of public networks is risky. Whether wireless or wired, any public access Internet connection is putting you and your data at risk. It may be convenient to use a hotel, restaurant, or coffee shop Internet link, but the likelihood of attack or compromise is greater than accessing a private network.

Many employees are not as well-versed in their company’s security policy as they should be. This may result in workers performing tasks that might seem innocent or benign on the surface, but which actually put the organization at risk of a security breach. Understanding what you are doing (as an employee) or what your users are doing (as a boss or manager), can help you work toward a viable resolution to these situations. In most cases, user behavior changes as well as implementation of new technological solutions can curb exposure to risk and increase security policy compliance.

This paper reviews many key issues and focuses attention on 10 responses that we all need to adopt in our approach to security.

Despite an organization's best efforts to prevent downtime and avoid compromises, failures will still happen from time to time. “I am convinced that there are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked, and those that will be,” said Robert Mueller, former FBI Director, in a statement. “Even that is merging into one category: those that have been hacked and will be again.” So, what is your organization doing about it? How do you plan for failures and security breaches?

Cybersecurity is the arena of technology, methodology, and practice that focuses on protecting electronic information and the systems supporting it against compromise and attack.

For every IT professional, there comes a point when the realization hits: technical skill will only get you so far. You may have your foot in the door (or the IT cave), but in order to advance your career and set yourself apart, you need to bolster a critical soft skill: learning effective communication skills for IT professionals

System Administrators, or SysAdmins, are the “installation specialists,” “configuration specialists” and “fixers” in IT. If you’ve ever seen Pulp Fiction, SysAdmins are like Winston Wolfe — their job is to solve problems.

Systems Administrators, or SysAdmins for short, are most often frontline IT staff who are problem-solvers, (metaphorical) fire extinguish-ers, and, simply, doers.

CISA is now one of the most sought-after and highest-paying IT certifications

For every organization, effective cybersecurity depends on a careful deployment of technology, processes, and people. And if you get the people right, they’ll take care of the other two factors. Just like sports teams, cybersecurity teams need to be carefully bult and managed to reach optimum performance. They don’t just take shape naturally.

A quick 30 minute look at ITIL 4 Service Value System focusing on the guiding principles –part of the core guidance of ITIL4. This webinar includes an example of how this guidance might be applied in an organization.  

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month has grown into a global effort, with both individuals and organizations taking part — and for good reason.

Getting the best possible performance from a SQL server can become more complicated as you add more operations to your database.

Despite rapid advances in technology, and widespread use of networks over the last few decades, the Fundamentals of Networking have not changed much. It is also quite surprising to see significant gaps or deficiencies in the foundational knowledge of many networking and IT professionals. This webinar attempts to highlight the common areas of such gaps and how to overcome them.

Cybersecurity has become a key area of job growth in the last few years. Now more than ever, individuals with computer security skills are needed to fill jobs currently sitting vacant. All the while, new job positions come into existence every month with few qualified applicants.

In this hands-on demonstration, you observe the configuration of IMS, Internet, SOS, and Admin DNN objects (Data Networks Name). These DNNs will then be assigned to several slice descriptors, showing how geography enters into slice implementation. You will then watch the slice configured on a working 5G network.

The Cisco Certified Network Professional Enterprise is built on the longstanding and well-recognized CCNP Routing and Switching. With the addition of evolving technologies, this makes the certification current and relevant. Having a vendor certification can be hit or miss, depending on the vendor, but with Cisco holding a major percentages of market share in the different technologies and implementations in the networking industry, having a CCNP Enterprise on your resume offers several advantages.

Many Enterprise companies use Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) as their Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP). OSPF relies on Link State Advertisements (LSAs) in order to advertise and learn subnets so whether it’s for CCNA or CCNP Enterprise or simply for a basic understanding of OSPF, it is important to understand the purpose of the various LSA types and how far the LSAs flood.

In this webinar, we will cover what makes a successful team, how to drive high-performance in your team, different stages of team development and other topics.
