How to Become a IT Specialist?

 This tip is very important. Regardless of your IT career choices, become an  expert!  The world is full of  generalists , people who know a little about everything or may even know a lot about various subjects, but you   will never be better than an expert.


The specialist will always take your place, your business, your client, because he  knows more than you , as he only does this he has more experience, he has made more mistakes and knows things that many do not know.


So if you choose a certain area, stay focused, study everything that exists, do work in the most diverse situations and environments on the subject.


Graduate to the subject, take the top courses, take certifications, become friends with the guys in the field, participate in groups, events, master the subject like no one else.


If you are the  ninja  in your area, make no mistake, because you:


It will be easier to work;

It will be a better option than most competitors;

It will be more valued than professionals in the same area;

You will learn the news more quickly and easily;

You can charge more;

It will have a high level of employability;

Etc.

Anyway, being an  expert  can be easier than learning a little of each thing and having to keep up with all the innovations that happen.


Stay focused and become the best!


Make Certification


If you chose to be an employee, you will need to get certified. Even though IT is not so popular anymore, the market is full of  pseudo-  IT experts and the curriculum accepts anything and everyone is a beast in what the job requires.


Therefore, it is necessary to separate the wheat from the chaff and certification is a good option, as it is  proof  of your knowledge.


And if you follow  tip 5  you will have no problems, just go up the certifications until you receive your “Expert” certificate.

The Information security engineer should work in collaboration with the information security team to offer support to security tools and technologies such as firewall, proxy server, remote access, and others. 

Extra tip: do not do certifications just to flourish the curriculum! If the position you aspire to  requires  certification is why you need to have the  knowledge,  not just the certificate.


I know there are HR companies that demand absurdities that are often unnecessary to fill vacancies with  meager salaries.  But believe me, this filter works and there will always be professionals who somehow “fulfill” the requirements and are willing to  accept the salary .


In this case, it is unprepared by company recruiters, but this has been corrected with new HR software and recruitment outsourcing.

Top 7 security mistakes when migrating to cloud-based applications

 With the pandemic, many companies have moved to more cloud-based applications out of necessity, because more of us are working remotely. In a Menlo Security survey of 200 IT managers, 40% of respondents said they are facing growing threats from cloud applications and Internet of Things (IoT) attacks because of this trend. There are good and bad ways to do this migration to the cloud. Many of the pitfalls are not exactly new. At a Gartner meeting in 2019, for example, two IT managers said their Office 365 deployments were halted due to the need to update legacy equipment. The way we now use - and share - our home computers has changed. Our PCs are no longer personal. That same computer can support your child's virtual school and your spouse's applications as well. A survey conducted in mid-June 2020 by CyberArk found that more than half of the respondents saved their passwords in the browsers of their corporate PCs. This does not bode well for any security policy, for sure. Her

Women and servers with young children

 The pandemic of the new coronavirus affected the productivity of the federal public servant who works from home. The most impacted groups are women and parents of children under 5 years old. The conclusion is part of a survey released last Friday (4) by the Ministry of Economy. According to the survey, carried out in May and June, women reported 26 minutes of non-productivity every hour, compared with just 12 minutes for men. The main reported difficulties were domestic distractions and the lack of interaction with colleagues. Technological problems and lack of delimitation of the boundary between personal and professional life were also mentioned. Federal civil servants with children up to 4 years old reported a greater impact, with 42 minutes of non-productivity per hour. Among those who have no children in this age group, the time they have not worked has dropped to 16 minutes. Among pet owners without children, there was virtually no variation. IT technicians are required by most

WAN port: for advanced and different from LAN

 The advanced user needs to understand a little more - the WAN connector is not just a place where you need to stick the cable of your Internet provider, but it is the EXIT from the router. Those. there are entrances, there are exits. I will disassemble "on the fingers". A home router is the centerpiece of a home LAN. The key word is local. Those. your home is your little network of connected phones, laptops, computers, televisions, and other useful devices. WAN or LAN? All home devices connect to the router either via Wi-Fi or LAN port. The distribution of IP addresses to them usually occurs through the DHCP server of the router itself. Those. in this matter, the router allows you to connect any device to itself - an INCOMING connection. But the router can connect itself perfectly - for example, to the global network through the provider, and distribute it to everyone on the local Internet. It makes its outgoing connections via the WAN port (but it can also via Wi-Fi if nece
