prepare for A+ certification

The prices vary depending on the country you are in, and whether you are getting a discount through a test prep company or voucher. The standard price in the United States is $211. Click here for prices in other countries.
Where do I go to take the exams?

Exams are administered at proctored testing facilities. While you can prep for the exams at home, you cannot take the actual certification exams from home. Use this search page to find the Pearson|VUE testing centers closest to you.

What if I don’t pass the first time?

The two exams are scored separately, so it is possible that you might pass one exam but not the other. You can re-take individual exams as many times as needed until you get a passing score. (A separate fee applies with each re-take.)

Employees of today’s enterprise have never been more connected, no matter where they roam – with smartphones, tablets and other devices becoming as ubiquitous as laptops and projectors in today’s conference rooms and corporate campuses. More and more companies have embraced the idea of “Bring Your Own Device”, allowing workers to use the equipment of their choosing. Smartphones now manage both business and personal functions, tablets are as common in the living room as the board room, and laptops allowing employees to work in airports, coffee shops, and anywhere they can access in internet.

What equipment do I need to prepare for A+ certification?

At a minimum, you need Internet access and at least one Windows-based PC (desktop or laptop) running Windows 7 or later. That’s the bare minimum, though; you will miss out on some hands-on study opportunities if that’s all you have. It is much easier to prepare for test questions about other components and operating systems if you have them to experiment with hands-on.

DDoS Attack Mean for My Security?

You need to prepare and plan to manage a DDoS attack against your systems. You need to monitor, generate alerts, and quickly diagnose a DDoS attack in progress. The next step is shutting down the attack quickly without affecting your users. You can block the IP addresses using your Next-Gen Firewall, or close inbound traffic to the targeted system and failover to a backup. There are other response plans you can implement, make sure to have one. Some CDNs, like Cloudflare, also act as a reverse proxy which can further protect your WordPress site from DDoS attacks. An HTTP Flood attack, for example, is an application layer attack that targets a web server on the target and uses many fast HTTP requests to bring the server down. Think of it as pressing the refresh button in rapid-fire mode on your game controller. That kind of traffic from many thousands of computers at once will quickly drown the webserver. Who should consider using a CDN: Most websites can benefit from integrating a CDN

Profiling Hackers in the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator

Using the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator or similar tools, organizations can categorize attacks by specific threat groups and threat actors. It is even possible to profile the technologies and the procedures attackers use. In short, you will have a strong idea of the next move your opponents are going to make. Notice that each of the technologies is categorized into a version of the hacker lifecycle. The top of the page reads Initial access, Execution, Persistence, Privilege Escalation and so forth. These are the general steps that attackers take as they compromise a network. The MITRE ATT&CK Navigator then allows you to profile specific attack groups. Each group profiles an actual group of cyberattackers. Using this model, you can quickly identify how each group operates. Going back to my baseball analogy, imagine if you knew that a group of pitchers behaved a certain way. Now, you can profile that behavior and train your batters to best address how those pitchers are trying to defea

The Importance of Post-Attack Analysis

Comprehensive visibility into an organization’s network activity is essential not only to quickly combat DDoS threats, but also to enable compliance reporting and archive security event data that enables security audits and forensic analysis of past threats. Organizations can learn from past attacks to uncover hidden patterns of data and identify emerging vulnerabilities within the massive streams of security event data Without this level of visibility, it is impossible to determine how effectively an attack was mitigated and whether there were any false-positives which led to collateral damage that substantiates any service level agreement (SLA) claims. For over a decade, Corero has been providing state-of-the-art, highly-effective, automatic DDoS protection solutions for enterprise, hosting and service provider customers around the world. Our SmartWall®  DDoS mitigation solutions  protect on-premise, cloud, virtual and hybrid environments.   Moreover, cloud-based DDoS defenses a
