To break the larger network into smaller sub-networks is called subnets. Subnetting is the method of stealing bits from the HOST portion of an IP address. We end up with NETWORK SUBNET HOST fields after sub-netting. To identify the subnet and another one to identify the broadcast subnet address, we always reserve an IP address. Subnets: Used for To help minimize network congestion, subnets provide a way of organizing the network. It will help to group those sections into a single segment if you have a lot of traffic traveling between specific parts of your network, so the traffic does not have to move across the whole network to get from place to place. Separating small sections of the network into subnets helps traffic to flow quicker, inserting traffic where it is not required to avoid taking unnecessary routes. Subnetting also helps to assign IP addresses easily and prevents vast numbers of IP addresses from being unused. For specific offices or specific teams within an organization...

Increased cloud adoption will make cybersecurity a key focus for businesses in 2021. Indeed, a Gartner survey of thousands of CIOs found that that it was at the top of the priority list for IT spending in 2021, followed by business intelligence/data analytics (58%) and cloud services/solutions (53%). As one of the CIOs noted, “The more you put into the cloud or other external sources, the more you have to invest in cyber security,” Iso is an international standard that focuses on information security. This standard guides the establishment, implementation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of an information security management system (ISMS). To achieve compliance, you need to: Understand what data assets you hold, their value, and who the asset owners are Effectively prioritize security controls and processes Properly protect your critical assets, including their confidentiality, integrity and availability (the CIA triad) Implement risk management by assessing the value of your d...

Gantt charts do not show how activities relate to one another, but Critical Path methodology shows how each activity is related to one another Gantt chart is in the form of a bar chart that lays out project activities and timelines for each activity. The critical path method represents a network diagram that displays each project activity and connects them to show task dependencies The CPM and Gantt chart are essential concepts for the CISA exam. The CISA certification is a globally recognized certification developed to validate candidates’ skills to manage, monitor, and protect the organization’s IT business environment.

Critical Path Analysis is commonly used with all forms of projects, including construction, aerospace and defense, software development, research projects, product development, engineering, and p...

To turn SharePoint into an effective knowledge management solution, organizations need to integrate the platform with a data classification tool that extends the out-of-the-box capabilities of SharePoint with a more robust search, a true information architecture, and taxonomy and term management. Netwrix Data Classification makes it possible for IT professionals to classify data swiftly and accurately, and create automated workflows that streamline tasks and protect sensitive information, both on premises and in the cloud. With intelligent automation driven by Netwrix Data Classification, one global consultancy firm can now discover and tag 1,000 files in its SharePoint system every 10 minutes. For example, a search for the keyword “financial services” might yield results that include a comprehensive report from the office of the CFO containing confidential fiscal data, as well as an internal employee memo that briefly mentions financial services along with a few other areas in passing...

I work for an IT services provider and this happened in the year 2011 and in my memory it seems as though it happened just now as I can still very vividly remember the issue. We had a windows server admin and when he was trying to apply a patch to windows server, we still could not figure what he did and neither could he explain what he did but in reality the patch was not applied and on top of it the database got corrupted and brought the operations completely down. The client immediately called when they could could access the database and it sent us scrambling and luckily we had a good hygiene of backing up the entire server and we were able to restore everything in a matter of ~ 2 1/4 hours – the important lesson for us was not do any manual patching and look for an automated patching solution that can minimize human error. But superheroes can feel pain as well. Five years ago, we asked brave sysadmins to blow off some steam and complain about their suffering by letting us know w...

Database roles work the same as server roles, except that they allow you to assign database-level permissions instead of server-level permissions. To create a database role, use the same procedure detailed above for server roles. For example, you might use the following commands:CREATE ROLE dbrole GRANT SELECT ON DATABASE::TestDatabase TO dbrole ALTER ROLE dbrole ADD MEMBER exampleuser2 Securables Principals receive permissions to securables. Securables are the resources for which access is regulated. Securables can have nested hierarchies, called “scopes,” which also can be secured. The securable scopes are server, database and schema. (A database schema is a skeletal structure that represents a logical view of an entire database. It defines how data is organized and how the relationships between them are related. It spells out all the constraints that must be applied to the data.) More Info: what kind of jobs can you get with comptia a+ certification

Follow the instructions and guidelines described earlier in “How to Manage Tenant-Wide Sharing Through SharePoint Admin Center.” OneDrive provides the same four sharing options as SharePoint. Tip: The sharing level for OneDrive must be the same as or more restrictive than the sharing level for SharePoint. For example, if tenant-wide sharing in SharePoint is set to Existing guests, you can only configure OneDrive to use the same setting or the more restrictive Only people in your organization setting. How to Configure OneDrive Sharing through the OneDrive Admin Center Log in to the OneDrive admin center. Navigate to the Sharing Here, you can set the level of external sharing for OneDrive and configure more fine-grained sharing controls such as: The type of link generated by default when a user shares a file The expiration period for links Whether to allow editing and uploading privileges for links that share OneDrive files or folders externally Specific domains to allow or block users f...

It takes most IT pros a considerable amount of time to get into IT, but Ian Clark proved that it’s possible to make a career change in just a few short months. He offered the following tips to those who are set on starting a career in IT as quickly as possible. 1. Define Your Why Clark believes knowing why you are pursuing IT is critical to getting on the fast track to a tech career. “The first thing I did when I set out on my path from food service to IT was to define why I wanted to get into IT. This helped me see that I was in hot pursuit of an IT career because I was passionate about the industry and wanted to be fulfilled by my job.” This also helped Clark understand that the reason he was earning CompTIA certifications was to become a competitive job candidate as soon as possible. Your why might be related to making a certain amount of money, helping businesses solve technical problems that impede their progress or, like Clark, simply doing what you love. Once you get crystal cle...

Building on the edict to promote learning that focuses on personal, as well as professional growth, the panel discussed the importance of allowing for failure in a learning culture. Not only does a high tolerance for failure allow employees to prototype ideas, promoting innovation, it fosters a sense of ownership in the organization. Foxall pointed out that a failure is not just a coaching opportunity, but also “a chance to elevate the human being, not just the worker.” The panel agreed that a rich employee development benefit gave their companies a competitive edge in the jobs market, and therefore in their business sector. The panel reiterated the importance of transparency and authenticity when assessing an employee’s ability to assimilate to a learning culture. A potential new hire’s ability to embrace the company’s learning culture is as crucial to their value to the organization as their technical skills. But what to do when an existing employee resists the growth mindset? The ef...

In fact, the state’s unemployment numbers came in at less than half of the national average at 4.5% in July of 2020. Utah has just 1.3 job seekers for every open position, and its diverse job market makes it less dependent on vulnerable industries. Major industries in Utah include: Agric...

Successful channel account managers are built, not born, and a lot of their success can be attributed to how their company structures its channel program, defines goals, and evaluates current competencies in order to create a strategy that fosters growth. Build trust with partners, creating win-win environments for both the vendor and the partner—not to mention the customer, advises Bixler. “Think about your most successful engagement, what would you want to repeat? It’s all about honesty, transparency, accountability,” Bixler said. “It’s not just how you make money but it’s how you’re profitable. You have to be good at communicating and articulating what you need. Partners are busy, they don’t have a lot of time. Be concise, consistent, and relevant. Stick with the plan.” That strategy should include processes to build, manage and communicate across all partner levels, as well as plans to hold partners accountable for success too. “Be a win-win advocate for your own business and your ...

One thing to note here is that all certifications from CompTIA issued post 2011 are valid only for a period of 3 years.

For some of the employers, the bootcamps' complete concept might look like an unprivileged space where instructors are screaming around, and their employees lined up as sheep and goats. No, this image of a bootcamp is totally false as the modern-day bootcamps are more engaged in shaping the IT professionals' minds to upgrade their current skillset and their assumption of the modern-day systems. These bootcamps make the employees ready for the ever-changing landscapes and provide them with some room to bring about their best version through continuously practicing and harnessing new knowledge over the subject. This is a flexible learning model and a consistent one as well, unlike any training workshops that you can arrange over your enterprise. The exam that validates whether the employee grabbed all the hype properly tests the employees' caliber over their practical knowledge of the application of various IT systems rather than conforming through theoretical emphasis. On th...

One of the most common mistakes made during the actual interview is pulling out your phone and/or forgetting to silence your phone. This leads to loud, frequent interruptions from social media notifications, texts, and calls that distract both you and the interviewer. If possible, leave it in your car, and remove it from the situation entirely. Same goes for smartwatches or anything else than can buzz, beep, or ring during your interview. Any peek at a text or notification could send the wrong message to your interviewer. Bonus tip: Instead of scrolling through social media while waiting for the interview to start, use that time to further prepare for the interview. 4. Failing to Ask Questions A job interview is a lot like a first date. They want to get to know you, and they fully expect you to try to get to know them too. No one wants to go on a second date with someone who just talked the entire time and never let them get a word in edgewise. It’s the same with a job interview. More ...

In looking at the tenets of cybersecurity and privacy, they have common goals: Not allowing access or disclosure of data to unauthorized entities or processes. Data, whether in transit or at rest, is only changeable in a specified, authorized manner. The onus of these goals is on unauthorized access; however, that’s not the only threat. Authorized access to PHI can also be a source of privacy and cybersecurity concerns. Thus, users still need checks and balances. To ensure that both privacy and security are in the DNA of MedTech, security by design and privacy by design are becoming the norm. Medical technology is transforming healthcare, but there are concerns about privacy and security. Sensors, wearables, connected medical devices, and more make up this group of digital health technology. While technology brings with it innovation and possibilities to improve care, there are also privacy and security concerns. MedTech security and privacy have been evolving and seen their share of c...

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is growing across various industries. From chatbots to data science, these powerful technologies enable organizations to streamline operations and better understand their data. So, why not leverage it for penetration testing? You absolutely should, and many testers are deploying it with success. AI helps with the automation of pen-testing, which provides better scaling. AI and ML won’t replace human testers. Rather, it augments their efforts and provides intelligence for better decision-making. The threat of attacks by internal users is still a concern. You can’t dismiss the possibility, so tracking your users’ behaviors can help. User behavior analytics (UBA) collects, tracks, and assesses activities with a monitoring system. UBA uses ML and deep learning to build out behavior vulnerabilities and then detects anything unusual. After detection, it analyzes the behavior to see if it could cause a security vulnerab...

When a business closes or files for bankruptcy, what happens to all the digital assets? What you do at this time has much to do with the kind of data you house. For example, healthcare entities that close still have an obligation to be the custodian of medical records for a certain period of time, which varies by state but is typically seven to 10 years from the record creation. Financial institutions that close also have regulatory requirements for record-keeping. In the case of regulatory mandates on record-keeping, you still have the responsibility to keep those records secure. A cybersecurity checklist for this kind of business closure would include: Identifying how long you must retain records Finding an archiving solution that allows you to migrate data securely Ensuring that regulatory bodies or patients/customers have the means to request documents Decommissioning all software systems that contain sensitive information in a safe way that aligns with cybersecurity best practices...
