AI is increasingly being used to make critical decisions about how information is used. We’re also finding that IT pros are being asked to understand the implications of AI usage, especially in regard to overcoming bias. In this brave new world of ambient computing, contact tracing and hyper-connectivity, IT pros are increasingly the ones who shape our data destinies. IT pros are increasingly working with upper management to ensure compliance to privacy frameworks and laws, such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States. I recently spoke with Jeremy Daly and Adan Syed, who are helping workers in Australia prepare for our data-centric world and the Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF). It’s a global concern. Foundational Tech IT pros need an essential understanding of end points, networking and cybersecurity. Employers can teach the rest – but only if the candidate knows the essentials. CompTIA A+, C...

An entry-level credential, Security+ is ideal for individuals seeking to establish themselves as IT security professionals. The certification targets IT professionals who troubleshoot, configure and manage networks. It not only validates a candidate’s knowledge of core cybersecurity topics, but also their ability to perform core cybersecurity tasks. Security+ credential holders are able to identify and solve security issues and are well-versed in managing and mitigating risks and detecting threats. According to the May 2017 BLS Occupational Employment and Wages (BLS wage) report, the national mean wage for security analysts is $99,690, with the top ten percent earning more than $153,000. There are a number of factors — specific job role, years of experience, industry sector and geographic location, for example — that influence individual salaries. The report notes that IT security employment rates are highest in Virginia, California, Texas, New York and Florida. On the other hand, if...

The CompTIA Security+ certification is often the first cybersecurity credential that many IT professionals obtain. To earn this vendor-neutral, entry-level certification, candidates must demonstrate basic cybersecurity knowledge and perform basic security tasks, including configuring, managing and troubleshooting networks. They must also possess the skills necessary to identify threats, detect intrusions and conduct penetration testing, and be well-versed in risk management and mitigation. CompTIA recommends candidates have the Network+ credential and two years of experience in IT administration with a security focus. This Security+ certification is ideal for anyone just starting their career as a cybersecurity professional. It is valid for three years, and 50 continuing education (CE) credits are required to renew. More generally, therefore, we can say that the primary difference between the Security+ sy0-401 vs. the sy0-501 is that sy0-501 includes core security functions, like usi...

Another way to improve your cybersecurity skills and network with colleagues is to participate in hackathons, where professionals collaborate intensively to develop a unique project in a limited time. One of the most popular resources for finding these events is Hackathon.com. Enterprise giants such as Samsung also regularly organize hackathons. Participating in penetration testing and bounty programs Security specialists work with their IT environment closely every day. With new attack vectors and new vulnerabilities appearing almost every day, it’s wise for companies to periodically get an outside perspective on their cybersecurity posture. External penetration testers will try to breach their defenses using a variety of techniques, from scanning ports to looking for backdoors in publicly available services. Working as a pen tester can help you expand your knowledge of how to defend against cyber threats. You can also participate in security bounty programs; many companies pay gener...

It mentions that “Forty-nine percent of human resource officials polled by the professional organization said this year’s college graduates lack basic English skills in grammar and spelling.” This is often reflected in applicant’s resumes. A single typo can get your resume thrown in the rejection pile. Hiring managers often have a very short time to look at a resume. When a job requires a certification, resumes without the certification are quickly eliminated. A hiring manager might have 100 resumes to fill a single job and this job requires a specific certification. He looks through them and sees that only about 10 include the certification. The rest are tossed aside. If you have the certification they require, you’ll make it to the next phase. However, just having this on your resume won’t be enough. ~~~ Resume Tip ~~~ Take the time to target your resume for every new position. Ensure each resume includes the key words of the position you’re applying for, so that it has a better cha...

The CompTIA Security+ certification is a popular certification within the IT field. One IT hiring manager told me that if a résumé doesn’t include the Security+ certification, or a higher-level security certification, he simply sets it aside. He won’t even talk to applicants. Because of this many IT professionals have this certification and it doesn’t have to be difficult. There isn’t any guaranteed path to pass the Security+ Certification. However, the following steps outline the path that thousands of people have used to add the Security+ certification to their resume. Here are 7 steps that thousands of people have used to get the Security+ certification, and you can use them too. As an overview they are: Get a good study guide. Set a goal 45 days out from the day you receive your study guide. Start studying the book. Supplement your studies with online materials such as blog posts. Buy a voucher (assuming your employer doesn’t buy it for you). Schedule your exam for your target dat...

Courseware developers have only had a few months to conduct courseware updates, with early content releases expected mid or late August. Interface Technical Training will immediately begin reviewing and preparing for delivery. Our planned preparation date is December 2017, and we will be ready to identify the course version on our website. After potential students read this review, we may be driven to provide a couple more cycles of the SY0-401 exam content. Sales and marketing may determine the shift in delivery schedule based on customer demand. A survey of partners, instructors, other delivery channels who may offer courses supporting the new exam objectives suggested The exam also places more emphasis on Risk Management, the expanding roles of Cybersecurity jobs (and their required skillsets), and replacement of ‘legacy’ technologies with newer tools. Expanded areas include expansion of spyware, ransomware, threat and attack identification skills, and incorporation of more PKI kno...
