Any IT Security Heads here?

ITIL is taken at a testing center, normally Pearsons. There are no Messer videos on ITIL.

Yep. It is strictly monitored. You must have a cam installed and the distant end have access to your desktop.
Never heard this before. Odd, but yea I wouldn't willing allow rdp to my system.
Don't forget to learn what compliance and standards force companies to invest in security. They don't do it because they should. It's because they have to. Know HIPAA, HITECH, and NIST to set your self apart from the pack. Check out SANS Institute too. Most certs are for keyword hits on your resume for HR. Definitely put a keyword section on your resume. Pay a couple hundred for a good resume. Print resumes on linen paper and put it in a reports folder for interviews. Drop a 30/60/90 day plan at the interview. Learn the tech. Enable Hyper V on Windows 10 and spin up a few VMs in Hyper V. Download network sims. Build a server and learn RAID levels and encryption. Learn Bitlocker and MBAM. Spin up a domain controller or two.
So just something to keep in mind.
The Networking industry is moving towards NFV and SDN.
Throw in some machine learning and SON
Means the industry is going to radically change in a few years.
Look up those technologies and keep an eye on them.
Good thread.

Good thread.
SDN, HCI and SDDC is where it's all going. Everything software. The whole fucking stack except the edge devices.
SDN - Software Defined Networking - Think of this as your switches and routers in software form. Cisco and VMware NSX are leading the charge with SDN.
SDDC - Software defined Data Center - Think of this of your whole datacenter in software form. VMware is leading the charge here.
HCI - Hyper Converged Infrastructure - Think of this as a row of racks in software form. Simplivity, Nutanix and Scale are leading the charge here.

Sorry fellas I know this turned into a general IT discussion thread but someone mentioned openstack. There is a freee Couch to Openstack course I found a few weeks ago and can't locate it now.
Also, SAP HANA (in memory computing platform) is offering free courses for my database heads.

I'm really putting this here as a placeholder/reminder so I can get the info.

Yeah badboy, if someone is new to security where should they start?
How hard is it to get to become a Cheif Information Security Officer after you put it the required years?
Are networking certs worth it? I wanted the CCNA/ CCNP but with SDN, I am reconsidering its value. What is a better value to make money and stay employed in IT? Thanks....
SDN and Virtualization require in depth understanding of networking principles plus underlying OS technologies.
I run full data centers with VMware And HyperV clusters . I m now moving all of my VMs to openstack . I am also now deploying many of my applications in containers .
You really need all the certs viz viv Ccna , Msce and I will not emphasize Linux and Unix skills enough . Master Linux .
If u know the difference between Chmod and chown , ur on your way .
How hard is it to learn linux?
Start learning and practicing everyday .
Everything in Linux is about mastering the command line .
The best way to learn is to go native .
Stop fucking around with windows , get mac or install fedora or ubuntu .
I have been native on mac for now 8 years , because I work a lot in terminal .
What do you mean by the word "native"?
Good thread!! I've been working w/ Linux for about +10 yrs; just a few points about linux from my experience
- The last few years there's been a shift to systemd which has changed how services run. If you're starting out, pick a distro that uses systemd
- There is a shift toward running applications in containers instead of on the OS. I'd look into Docker/container technology
- It's always good at least 1 orchestration tool (Ansible, Puppet, Chef, etc.). It's good to know how to administer 1 machine, but chances are what you do to 1, you'll have to do to MANY
I have a two questions about apps...
What sercurity measures does a app like Pokemon use, with all that tracking it does etc?
Let's say Amazon transform to being strictly an app, would they use they same as like say Pokemon. That's major data that hackers probably try to secure every second.
What's the best options to secure profile hacking.

Take gmail for instance , your email account is a container . It's created on the fly and destroyed on the fly .
I don't use any other operating system beside Mac OS . Every company I work for , I don't use windows machines . I can control windows machines from my mac , I control all my FreeBSD servers from my mac . Mac is BSD .
You have to be a guru . Leave and breath security .
bump just cause this is good stuff....we need more of this on the board... HNIC???? maybe you could sticky this some where prominent for brothers that trying to come up in tech.
VMware NSX and Cisco got one too.Wow, I work in IT and I was completely oblivious to SDN.This proves how important it is to keep up with the changes in technology.
What is SOC?
Any other black orgs for IT besides BDPA?
Volunteer to do InfoSec at your job .. even if its just daily monitoring ... SIEMs ... etc. 30 minutes a day. Ask your security person to give you his shit work for a month or so... if not create the spot you want.
IMHO, the COMPTIA certs tend to be entry level certs or a gateway to an area you are not familiar with. When I was a windows guy and wanted to get into networking, I took the NetPlus to give me that foundation for networking. It helped me make a lateral move within IT.
Again, my opinion, if you got 17 years experience think about getting a cert in your area of expertise in addition to other areas you trying to move into.
A SOC is a Security Operations Center, and another org is HBCU Connect.
Vmware about to be bought by Dell
Cisco just killed their cloud business
Openstack wins.
SDN/NFV will only confirm Openstack to be the winner
