  The primary objective of the information security program is to implement the strategy in the most cost effective manner while at the same time maximizing support of business functions and minimizing operational disruptions. In Information Security Governance (ISG) and Information Risk Management (IRM) the governance and risk objectives for a security program were defined and incorporated into an overall strategy. The level of understanding that candidates need to have obtained in ISG and IRM will determine the degree of clarity in understanding information security program development objectives. For example, if candidates are able to come up with a well-developed security strategy, it would be less stressful for them to turn a high-level strategy into a meaningful, logical and physical reality. Despite a well-formed security strategy, candidates must be able and prepared to modify or reconsider certain elements during the program design, development and administration, depending on

  When it comes to having a wireless network at your home or business, having wireless security is essential. Having good wireless security can make your wireless network less susceptible to hackers and can make connecting to the network difficult for those who you do not want to have access. Regardless of your wireless router, configuring wireless security on your router merely requires going to the correct section of the administration control panel. Step 1 Type your router's administration control panel address into Internet Explorer. For Linksys/Cisco routers, the address is 192.168.1.1. For D-Link and Netgear routers, the address is either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1. For other routers the address may be 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1. If none of these work for you, consult your router's user manual. Step 2 Type in your user name and password for the administration control panel of your router, and click "OK." For Linksys/Cisco routers, the default user n

  It's possible to force the user to supply a password to encrypt RAR archives so a file can be extracted. If you have an encrypted archive for which you don't know the password, or if you've simply forgotten a password you assigned yourself, there are a handful of tricks you can attempt. Step 1 Check the source of the archive. If you downloaded it from a website, look around the site for a mention of the password (after all, it's unlikely someone offered an unopenable archive for download.) If the person you downloaded it from can be contacted, send them an email asking for the password. Step 2 Try a few likely-seeming passwords. The name of the source website may work, as may the name or Internet handle of the archive creator. Step 3 Try a brute-force approach. This involves simply cycling through every possibility, one by one, until something works. You can technically do this yourself, but it would take forever and be extremely tedious. Fortunately there's a pro

  Network switches for home and small office use are typically stand-alone units, while switches for larger networks are usually rack-mounted. Either way, they typically use either Cat5 or Cat6 ethernet cables. Switches allow multiple computers to connect to a single Internet connection, but rather than simply passing the signal through, like a network hub, a switch can manage that network traffic. Switches differ in the way they handle network traffic, but all of them are installed in a very similar way. Step 1 Provide power to the switch, if required. For a stand-alone switch, this simply means plugging in the power supply. For rack-mounted switches, this means using a slot that has power supplied to it. Step 2 Connect the incoming network cable to the switch. Although any slot can be used on most network switches, it is a good idea to use the first slot so anyone can quickly identify the incoming cable. For home and small office applications, the incoming cable will be the one comin

  Network security has a number of benefits for defending your clients’ businesses against threats. Obviously the number one advantage is minimizing the level of risk for attacks, infections, and breaches. For most companies, reaching an acceptable level of security can be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve on their own, even for organizations that have their own IT staff and help desk. With the right network security tools, however, MSPs can offload the security yoke from organizations and protect their clients’ computer systems, networks, files, and data from attacks and breaches. Keeping files free from infection is particularly important in today’s collaborative workplace, where information is shared among co-workers inside a company as well as with partners, consultants, analysts, and others outside the company. Network security also keeps sensitive data, such as personal information and confidential business materials, away from unauthorized individuals. The impact resultin

  The holy grail of networking is speed, and we’re all on our own quests for it. The greatest laid plans can be thwarted by the slightest oversight, mistake, or even necessary processes (like security). Internet speed is the most forward-facing utility that you provide, so you better get it right. If your network runs slow, you’re never going to hear the end of it. 1. It’s all about placement It’s the central fact of real estate, it’s the core principle of sales, and it’s a central lesson in wireless access points: location, location, location. Obvious, right? Where you put the broadcast device really matters for your network speed. 2. Configurable settings: configure them. Most WAPs come out-of-the-box with the settings they need to do their job. But so does every Windows installation and your newest phone. Did you leave those settings the same? Of course not. (You did? You monster.) Default settings will work fine. But they’re everything for everyone. You may be unnecessarily slowing

  The latest CES 2019 set some trends for the future of technology and one of the most anticipated is the arrival of 5G Internet in the market. With the promise of being extremely fast and with double capacity for information transmission, the technology comes to revolutionize communication between everything connected to the internet. After the event, some innovation gurus say that from 2020 onwards we will live the “Data Age”, in which any electronic device will be able to analyze data that will be received via sensors or cloud. The big advantage of the 5G will be its simultaneous connection capability as the current 4G can handle a maximum of 10,000 gadgets within 1 km 2 The arrival of 5G guarantees a range of 1 million devices within this same radius. And just as importantly, 5G will also bring data transfer capacity of up to 20gb, while 4G supports up to 10gb. And do you know where 5G technology will take immediate action? Obviously in smart cars, which are the future of transport

 This key is where all the configuration data for the Workstation service is stored. The lanmanworkstation key by default, looks like this on a freshly installed Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 machine As you can see, there’s no “AutotunedParameters” here. However, there is a "parameters" sub key in which we can do some tuning. It is not uncommon (especially in Terminal Server environments) to have to tune the Workstation service to alleviate performance problems. This is due to the nature of Terminal Servers. My article on MSTerminalServices.org discusses this in detail, but in a nutshell it’s like this: the workstation service was (and is) designed for a single workstation (like your desktop). However, a Terminal Server can easily host 50 desktop sessions, but unless you do manually intervene this server most likely is still configured just as your desktop would be. It’s pretty obvious that this could lead to some performance problems. Parameters Although there aren’t th

 For many computer virus writers and cybercriminals, the objective is to distribute their virus, worm or Trojan virus to as many computers or mobile phones as possible – so that they can maximise malware penetration. There are three main ways in which this can be achieved: Via social engineering By infecting a system without the user’s knowledge A combination of both of these methods In addition, the malware creator will often take steps to prevent the infection being detected by antivirus programs.

  Juniper has made steady gains in the marketplace for some time, and although they are unlikely to displace Cisco any time soon, Juniper is well worth consideration as a technology choice — and also as a career direction. In this post, we take a look at where and why Juniper is better than its competition and why it’s a good bet both for users and for networking professionals. Cisco presents itself as a one-stop shop for a wide range of networking needs, including enterprise and service provider networks, data center networks, mobility solutions, network security, cloud, conferencing, and collaboration. Juniper does not try to be all things to all people. Their focus is clearly on providing top of the line solutions for routing, switching, and security. Juniper’s reputation is for speed and throughput; their products avoid the feature overload that may tend to slow down the equivalent Cisco product. Juniper’s Junos operating system is much more modular and robust than Cisco’s feature-
