CompTIA Security+ is a globally recognized certification that validates the foundational skills and knowledge needed to perform core security functions. The Security+ is vendor-neutral and not role-specific, so it fits well in a range of organizations, regardless of which technologies they use. With this foundation in place, many CompTIA Security+ certified professionals go on to take popular vendor-specific exams, such as those for VMWare, Cisco or Microsoft. There are many benefits, both on a personal level and a professional level, to having the international, vendor-neutral CompTIA A+ Certification. Higher salaries and extended career path options usually rank at the top of the list. According to a recent survey, professionals with the CompTIA A+ Certification can earn around $31,000 per year. Other benefits include increased customer satisfaction, increased productivity due to skilled workers as well as other career opportunities. Earning the CompTIA credential involves consider...

Two CompTIA cybersecurity certifications will be updated in 2020: CompTIA Security+ (Q4) and CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst (CySA+) (Q2). Although the related core job functions remain the same, both certifications will be impacted by cybersecurity trends we’re seeing in the industry. I recently did an interview on YouTube where I discussed the CompTIA Cybersecurity Career Pathway and how we update our certifications to reflect industry trends. CompTIA works closely with industry partners to ensure our certifications align with current job roles and responsibilities. Technology changes frequently, so we update our exams every three years to meet industry needs and make sure IT pros keep their skills current. When IT pros renew their certifications through continuing education, they validate their knowledge in technology areas that matter to employers today. What Makes Linux So Scalable?

Over the years, security attacks have evolved. Currently, 80% of organizations use the Internet as an essential part of their business operations, and half of them experience a significant loss of assets due to Internet-related incidents. International Data Corporation (IDC), a market research and analysis firm, reports that security spending has increased significantly in the last few years – from $5.1 billion to $14.2 billion. There are three factors that are fueling the drive for businesses to make security an executive priority: The business transformation to e-business HIPAA legislation A need to protect the business infrastructure from increasing threats Many aspiring IT pros are concerned that the entry-level certs just won't get them anywhere. The common complaint is that there are already too many people with CompTIA certs and the widespread fear is that the certifications are too basic. Others worry that CompTIA certifications won't help them get a job or a promotion...

The CompTIA Security+ certification is the foundational credential for information technology professionals who want to specialize in cybersecurity. By passing the test, you show your ability to install and work with systems that secure devices, applications, and full networks.

According to CompTIA, 96 percent of managers look for certifications when screening candidates or include certifications as part of the job requirements. The data in the Global Knowledge 2018 IT Skills and Salary Report indicates that 15 percent of respondents reported that adding new certifications to their skill set resulted in receiving a raise, with some respondents reporting raises of as much as 16 percent. The Global Knowledge report also notes that certified IT professionals earn 22 percent more than their non-certified counterparts, which makes a strong statement...

Know about ALL current security issues Almost half of the exam covers security threats, attacks, vulnerabilities, technologies, and tools and includes recent threats like crypto-malware, stego-malware, ransomware, RATs, APTs, Zero-days, and Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS). Do you know how to create a ransomware campaign in Kali Linux? If the answer is no, now is the time to get familiar with the components of exploit kits. You also need to know or be able to define the reason for the success of social engineering campaigns. CompTIA lists several reasons, with no explanation, so you might want to watch our training where it covers authority, intimidation, consensus, scarcity, familiarity, trust, and urgency of the victim. And be sure to familiarize yourself with the most common web server and wireless attacks. Cloud Security Just opposite the traditional IT security, cloud security grant access on demand.

Earning your degree is a major milestone and can open countless new doors to success. And with IT jobs growing at rates topping 26% (much faster than the national average), the time may be right for you to pursue a certificate or degree in Information Technology. However, setting yourself apart from the competition — and maximizing your learning outcomes — involves more than earning your degree.

Sometime in the late 1980s, a young Hodson inserted a cassette tape into the uniquely designed tape-drive on the keyboard of his family’s Amstrad CPC 464. In those early days of home computing, if you wanted to play a game, you learned rudimentary troubleshooting skills pretty quickly. Working around all-too-common crash screens, Hodson booted, then rebooted. 220-902 Topics Linux and Mac Command line utilities for Linux and Mac Windows 8 No Windows XP Windows Powershell Robocopy command line tool Operating system security features Client side virtualization Operational procedures (MSDS sheets, safety, behavior, etc.) Getting a game to load, he found, could be as exciting as the game itself. And there were other features of the technology that piqued his curiosity. How, he wondered, were the commands that he typed making graphics appear, move and change on the screen? At school, he was exploring a love of language that, in the UK’s hierarchical educational system, would mean a career i...

DDoS attack vectors target varying components of a network connection. While nearly all DDoS attacks involve overwhelming a target device or network with traffic, attacks can be divided into three categories. An attacker may use one or multiple attack vectors, and may even cycle through these attack vectors based on countermeasures taken by the target. Common types are: Application layer attacks (layer 7) Protocol attacks (layers 3 and 4) Volumetric attacks (amplification attacks) DDoS attacks overload Internet connections and the supporting LAN components with large numbers of simultaneous requests. These render web and mail servers inaccessible. If a company’s Internet connection is down, this can quickly cause considerable financial loss. The innovative DDoS Protect Pro service provides fast and reliable support for thwarting DDoS attacks and helps to prevent businesses from being constrained and from suffering revenue losses. The solution consists of three modules and hence cover...

More importantly, in many cases a DDoS attack is merely designed to distract from other criminal activity, such as data theft or network infiltration. The attacker keeps its target busy fighting off the DDoS attack, to then sneak in a piece of malware. Who would carry out a DDoS attack? As it turns out, the answer includes many different types of bad actors such as cyber-criminals or disgruntled employees. Perpetrators execute DDoS attacks for a variety of reasons, such as extortion, revenge, or politics. Protocol DDoS attacks target the networking layer of the target systems. Their goal is to overwhelm the tablespaces of the core networking services, the firewall, or load balancer that forwards requests to the target. In general, network services work off a first-in, first-out (FIFO) queue. The first request comes in, the computer processes the request, and then it goes and gets the next request in the queue so on. Now there are a limited number of spots on this queue, and in a DDoS ...

Before I came to the SEI CERT Division, I worked as a network engineer in various environments, including for Internet service providers, where I assisted organizations that were on the receiving end of DDoS attacks and also had to handle clients who were either unknowingly or deliberately sourcing attacks themselves. I also worked as a network engineer for enterprises that had to be ready to defend themselves against DDoS attacks. At CERT, I lead a team that performs network data analysis to understand traffic on our sponsors' networks, often working to identify abnormal conditions and anomalous behavior that might indicate attacks or other threats to the environment. Conficker is a quick spreading worm that attacks vulnerability in Windows operating systems. It has the potential to create spam, perform identity theft, phishing exploits and several other malicious activities. Unfortunately committing DOS or DDoS attacks are not very difficult. According to an expert “all it takes...

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...

A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is when an attacker, or attackers, attempt to make it impossible for a service to be delivered. This can be achieved by thwarting access to virtually anything: servers, devices, services, networks, applications, and even specific transactions within applications. In a DoS attack, it’s one system that is sending the malicious data or requests; a DDoS attack comes from multiple systems. Generally, these attacks work by drowning a system with requests for data. This could be sending a web server so many requests to serve a page that it crashes under the demand, or it could be a database being hit with a high volume of queries. The result is available internet bandwidth, CPU and RAM capacity becomes overwhelmed. Whether DoS or DDoS, the result is the same—legitimate users are unable to connect to the resources they are intended to have access to. DDoS attacks are one of the most effective ways for malicious actors to violate availability, ...
