Security+ Tips and Tricks : CompTIA

The new 220-1002 exam contains updates to operating system topics covering Windows 7, 8 & 10 – this also includes end-of-life and update limitations for older systems.

Also featured on the new exam are updates to security topics, giving students the opportunity to prove their knowledge of the modern cyber threat landscape.

“There are also two entirely new topics that students will be tested on,” says Jeremy. “The first tests knowledge of operational procedures and regulatory compliance, covering the likes of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and incident response.

“The second new section covers script basics for Batch, Python, Java and Visual Basic and requires students to study strings, loops, strings and integers. This is valuable knowledge for anyone aiming to move into developer roles.”

 Ideally you looked into this or spoke to your employer before you sat for and earned your A+, but if not, your first step probably should be to look into whether your employer (assuming that you’re working in a technical job) provides a bonus or raise for certifications earned, or if they will reimburse you for the testing fee now that you’ve passed.  Many employers will gladly pay for a certification exam if you pass, and some do have some sort of bonus structure. Keep in mind that if you don’t ask, you don’t get.

Reasons You Should Care About CompTIA A+

If you’re not already convinced that CompTIA A+ is a great way to launch your IT career, listen to what Zach Hill of I.T. Career Questions has to say. When the CompTIA A+ Core Series (220-1001/220-1002) launched earlier this year, he identified five things that excite him about the certification and why he thinks it’s relevant to today’s entry-level IT jobs, like help desk technician and technical support specialist. "In my opinion, CompTIA has really raised the bar with the new A+ certification,” Hill said in his video. “They have set a new standard while still keeping in mind that this exam is designed and developed for those who are seeking entry-level job roles.” Highlights of the CompTIA A+ Core Series Scripting: You won’t need to become a programmer or know coding inside and out, but you’ll need to understand the basics of how scripting works and the principles of scripting language.

DDoS for hire services

The service is also offering 5%, 7%, 10% and 15% discounts to prospective customers, with a return policy based on the remaining time from the originally purchased package. The service profiled in this post, is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the overall availability of DDoS for hire managed services within the cybercrime ecosystem. This fierce competition prompts for unique client acquisition tactics, such as offering complete anonymity throughout the purchasing and post-purchasing process in order to ensure that anyone can request any target, including high profile ones, to be attacked. Moreover, although the service is undermining the OPSEC (operational security) of the proposition by advertising on public forums, the business model of the competition is often driven by invite-only sales, where prospective customers are trusted and verified as hardcore cybercriminals with a significant credibility within the cybercrime ecosystem. These competing services even offer the po

Develop Your Best Tech Partners

Success in the tech industry doesn’t come easy. You need the right solutions, the right salespeople, the right marketers. But to really gain traction in the market, you need a deep pool of partners—solution providers, MSPs, integrators, etc.—capable of acting as an extended sales force for your products and services. Building a broad, deep of talent partners requires a well-thought-out strategy because partners come in all shapes and sizes and treating them all equally is likely to end up frustrating you, your partners, and ultimately your customers. To help tech vendors better understand the dynamics of a strong partner base, CompTIA has developed a series of training programs, Channel Account Manager (CAM) Training 101 for beginners, and CAM Training 201 for more advanced channel management initiatives. The programs are available for free to all CompTIA corporate members, but they’re also available to non-members for a fee as well. More Info: comptia certified jobs
