Importance of Quality CISSP Training!

People, not systems, are the key to ensuring security of an organization. Technological innovations alone cannot safeguard the information assets of a company. Professionals having core knowledge of networks and system security have the actual power to steer technology in the right direction and achieve its intended purpose. Therefore, it is imperative to give due importance to qualified resources who can provide highest standards of IT security in an organization. CISSP is one such popular credential in the security domain which is sought after by employers world over.

Getting CISSP certified is no cakewalk. It requires commitment and tremendous effort. You must be dedicated to achieve this credential and ready to put in maximum efforts into it. If you’re thinking you can crack CISSP by just flipping through some course material on your own, you’re highly mistaken. You would need the guidance of an expert who can show you how to solve security problems and learn various techniques for qualifying CISSP certification  exams. With a pass percentage of >90% , Koenig Solutions takes the responsibility of helping you achieve this tough certification.

Choosing the Right CISSP Training

In order to be sure of your future and avoid getting duped by false promises of certain training providers, you must keep the following things in mind:

Verify trainer credentials

If your trainer is CISSP certified, it’s good. However, look for someone who is an expert in a few more security domains. Sound domain knowledge is a must. Also, before you sign up for the class,  you must be sure of the quality of instructors. True learning and right value of training can only be delivered by trainer’s ability to transfer his knowledge to his/her students. In addition, don’t shy away from inquiring about the pass percentage record of your trainer/institute. Rahul Kokcha, who is a highly qualified and experienced security professional, will be conducting CISSP training at Koenig Solutions.

Quality of Study Materials

There is a vast study material for CISSP exam. But you need to study from relevant course material that helps you clear your certification exam. If the study material provided by your training institute only seems to add to your troubles, rather than solving them, it’s time to look for another training provider. So you must review the course material and inquire about the same before joining the CISSP course.

Keeping these things in mind will help you choose the right CISSP training so that you can qualify the CISSP certification exam with flying colors. Koenig Solutions, a leading IT offshore training company, scores high on all of the above mentioned criteria. Also, the company has announced regular quarterly batches for CISSP training at its Delhi and Dubai centers.

Agenda

Here are the topics that would be discussed at the webinar -

  • Introduction to OSSTMM and ISECOM

OSSTMM primarily aims at providing a scientific approach for precise security characterization. It occurs through correlation as well as examination, and that too consistently and unswervingly.

The framework adapts to a majority of penetration tests, security assessments, red-teaming, war games, IS audits, vulnerability assessments, posture assessments, security audits, blue-teaming and ethical hacking.

As a secondary aim, OSSTMM offers a set of strategies which enables an auditor to execute a licensed OSSTMM audit. The crucial aim of OSSTMM is to make a mark in a security testing methodology. When such a methodology is utilized; practical, operational and factual security requirements should be met as a direct result. As an indirect result, a discipline is created to act as a focal point for all security tests, irrespective of organization size, technology or security level.

Bringing ISECOM to spotlight, it is worth mentioning that they take care of this manual, offer professional certifications to network security analysts (OPSA), network security testers (OPST) along with wireless security analysts. As professional security analysts and testers need to prove their efficiency, this certification helps them establish precision, and apply formal methodology and verification to fetch factual results. Therefore, OSSTMM certification holders are better employed within no time as compared to those who have some other penetration testing certifications.  The OSSTMM approach is easy and lucid to aid fact finding. It is also used to analyze business processes if they have any loopholes where money laundering, fraud and other security threats may be lurking.

  • OSSTMM Test Type

Test cases of OSSTMM are divided into five channels that jointly test – awareness levels of security professionals, information and data controls, telecommunications and computer networks, mobile devices, security processes, social engineering and fraud control levels, wireless devices, physical security access controls and physical locations; for instance perimeters, military bases and buildings. Technical details of an item which is to be tested, steps to follow before a security test, through and after it, and the approach to determine the results are covered by OSSTMM. New tests that are meant for international standards, best practices, regulations, ethical concerns and laws are added and updated on regular basis.

The Future of Windows Store Apps!

Every developer wishes to design visually appealing and powerful apps that dutifully serve their intended purpose. The latest in line are Windows Store apps that run on Windows 8 devices. A Windows Store app houses a chrome-less, distinctive window which by default, fills up the entire screen. Consequently, there is no space for distractions.

Upcoming Webinar by Koenig: Key Features of Microsoft Lync 2013

A Windows Store app has the ability to support various views and layouts so that various display sizes and form factors can experience perfection. Windows applications get a default style suite, ensuring smooth functioning of UI elements for touch scenarios. It gives you freedom to use a language you are proficient in and write your own app; for instance, in JavaScript, HTML5 or C#. Windows Runtime, a built-in API which is used in Windows apps is supported in C#, JavaScript, C++ and Visual Basic. The question is whether to use HTML 5 and JavaScript or C# language for designing these applications?

Windows Store Apps in HTML 5 and JavaScript or C#

Windows Store Apps in HTML 5 and JavaScript or C#

Windows Store Apps in HTML 5 and JavaScript

You can build Windows store apps in Windows Store with JavaScript using languages that you know well such as CSS, JavaScript and HTML. Additional capabilities are provided by Windows Store Apps while making use of JavaScript, and some differences are also introduced throwing light on different ways to utilize existing features of HTML. With JavaScript, Windows Store applications support maximum features of HTML 5 such as SVG, canvas, audio and video elements. A majority of CSS level 3 – CSS3 features are also supported by Windows Store Apps such as animations, transitions, 2D and 3D transforms. You can also get the training for Essentials of Developing Windows Store Apps using HTML5 and JavaScript from us.

Some more features in JavaScript that can boost your applications include:

  • Increased touch support
  • Better UI look and feel
  • Windows Runtime access
  • Windows Library for JavaScript access
  • Latest controls that are part of the Windows Library for JavaScript include tools such as TimePicker, ListView and DatePicker.

Windows Store Apps in C#

Designing Windows Store Apps in C# is a bit more complex than in JavaScript and HTML5. Although the end product is more or less similar, choosing a language to design Windows apps is largely dependent on the developer’s comfort. In C#, Expression Blend tools and Visual Studio can bring life to your application. You can also check for the Essentials of Developing Windows store Apps using C# Training.

Some other features of Windows Store Apps in C# include:

  • Creating User Interface structure and layout using XAML
  • Handling file streams successfully
  • Implementing tiles and toast notifications in Windows Store Apps
  • Using advanced templates to design UI
  • Implementing layout controls and AppBar
  • Deploying a Windows Store App to an enterprise store Windows Store

Windows Store Apps in HTML & Java or C# – Comparison

Choosing whether to build your Windows Store Apps in Java and HTML 5 or C# and XAML, is not that difficult. If you already have a comprehensive application made in C# and XAML, a subset of this capability will also be available for Windows Store Apps. Therefore, in such a case it would be convenient to opt for C#.

Moreover, there are a host of things which you cannot directly implement using JavaScript. However, the differences may be hard to spot unless using advanced features. Similarly, JavaScript also has some benefits over C#, such as simple CSS3 styling for documents and other distinctive controls like date selection, rating and flyout. You can simply change CSS to go to IOS or Android using PhoneGap. A JavaScript/HTML5 Metro style app binds to anything since the language supports Observable Lists. You can also create resolution-independent apps with HTML.

But, the object oriented feature of C# makes it score over JavaScript/HTML. Projects made in C# follow OOP concepts such as inheritance, polymorphism, pervasive design, unit testing, architectural reuse – which makes them testable, scalable and logical. C# has everything and full set of features including symbolic refactoring, complex metrics and superior code analysis.

To sum up, it really boils down to developer’s familiarity and preference for a particular language. So if you’re using an existing desktop application in C#, you can create a Windows Store App in XAML/C#. Similarly for JavaScript desktop applications, design Windows Store Apps in HTML5/JavaScript. Projects offering JavaScript and HTML can also build Windows Store Apps in HTML5. While C# is equipped with more capabilities and has complex features, JavaScript/HTML5 is the future of application growth in the long run owing to its simplicity and scope. Whatever be your choice, make sure you are an expert in the language that you opt for. Koenig Solutions, a leading IT offshore and onshore training company, in association with Microsoft provides certification courses on Essentials of Developing Windows Store Apps using C# and  Essentials of Developing Windows Store Apps using JavaScript and HTML5. So, make your choice now and enter the fascinating world of designing potent and engaging apps.

In addition, the following will also be discussed -

  • Topology Modifications – MS has moved roles of archiving and monitoring to the Front End Server role as optional.
  • Lync Web app – A latest version of this app holds complete conference support. It provides users with ease to attend meetings through their browsers, without the Lync client, supported well by video and audio, both.
  • Enterprise voice features – There are several routing features in Lync Server 2013. These features are created for the aim of enhancing enterprise voice, for instance, supporting multiple trunks between gateways and mediation servers. Also, inter-trunk routing contributes for the cause to allow Lync Server to be an interface for various phone systems.
  • New conferencing features – Lync Server 2013 broadens its client compatibility by inclusion of Windows 8, iOS, IE10, Android and Windows Phone. For higher resolution displays, sharing features of PowerPoint have been enhanced.
  • Disaster recovery and improvements in high-availability – Front-end pools can now be paired in various data centers. If one of the pools goes down, it can be switched over to some other pool by the admin. Similarly, back-end server availability can be provided for the Lync databases through SQL mirroring.
  • Persistent chat – This newly introduced server role has many components – PersistentChatStore, PersistentChatComplianceStore and PresistentChatService. The Lync Server control panel has integrated admin tools, including PowerShell cmdlets.
