Job Security with a+ certification

The report reveals that IT pros are not just looking for one amazing job, but for a sustainable career. They want to live in communities that offer career opportunities and growth.

“People without higher-level degrees look more-so for job security,” Carrado said. “It’s very important to them.”

Job security even outweighs salary considerations. In the report, 73%of IT pros said job security is very important, followed by salary at 69%.
4. Housing Prices

Tech pros are flexible on where they live — 37% have moved for a job and nearly a quarter (26%) said they would consider moving for a new job. Communities hoping to draw in the tech industry should pay attention to how much it costs to buy a house.

“The study asked IT pros to select the top things that mattered most from a list of 25 considerations, like lifestyle, environment and amenities,” Carrado said. Affordable housing came out on top over city-wide perks like walkability and public transportation.
5. IT Salaries

When it comes to how much IT pros get paid, women are more focused on dollar signs than men.

“Significantly more women IT pros selected income and salary as very important compared to men,” Carrado said.

Across the board, people are interested in making money. In the study, 74% of women versus 66%of men called salary very important, and for employed IT pros with more than five years of experience, a city with high average tech salaries is a must have.

“IT pros in their 30s are much more likely to indicate that average tech salaries are one of the most important factors in considering where to live and work compared to both their younger and older counterparts,” Carrado said.

IT pros looking for a change can use the interactive Cyberstates map to see average tech salaries in cities across the country. The tool also lists the types of IT jobs that are most prevalent in each location. Compare these lists to our jobs profiled in Your Next Move and figure out what skills and IT certifications you need to put down roots in a new town.

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.
