IT Is Everywhere

IT is everywhere, and our Road to ChannelCon has proved that. We recently visited Fortified Health Security in Franklin, TN, and Chicago Zoological Society at Brookfield Zoo in Illinois to learn more about the different industries IT pros work in. Keep reading and watch the videos to learn what it’s like to work in IT for the health care industry and at a zoo.

Fortified Health Security is a managed security service provider (MSSP) in Franklin, TN, just outside of Nashville. The area is a hub for health care and IT, and the IT pros at Fortified Health Security explained what it’s like to work in health care security and what it takes to succeed in cybersecurity.

“The technologies that we’re protecting in hospitals, a lot of times, are linked specifically to a human person who is lying in a bed or on an operating table,” said Spencer Bales, senior security engineer.

Stewart Condadi, IT security engineer, added that almost every device they secure is sensitive or patient-facing, which raises the stakes for rolling out updates and tackling cybersecurity challenges. And Darius Davis, threat analyst, said that data loss prevention (DLP) is a major focus in health care security.

“Have a passion, get to know your IT infrastructure, understand your operating systems, what vulnerabilities exist or even what a vulnerability is, what an exploit is and understanding the tools in use,” said William Crank, chief operating officer. “If you have a passion for doing that and a basic understanding, you’re a prime candidate to be a great cybersecurity engineer.”

"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. Cybersecurity: The CompTIA A+ Core Series has increased its coverage of cybersecurity, incl...

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...
